Sock It To Me Cake

Well I've been at Jackson now for 14 years. I would write about the people there but I have to face them everyday so I won't. They might not understand my feelings nowadays. There have been some great teachers at Jackson. My daughters went there and I know them as a parent too. Leslie had a Mrs. Vines for K and she was wonderful whereas Amber had Mrs. Partin who was fantastic. Amber was always so full of energy and life whereas Leslie was always so serious. However Leslie had funny moments with funny stories. In first grade, Leslie was in Mrs. Foster's class and Amber had Mrs. Ladyman who is also wonderful.Leslie was put in the second group of readers. Every night when her daddy came home from being a Principal she would read to him while I cooked supper. By midterm she was in the top group. Leslie was in mrs. Polnick's class in 2nd while Amber had Mrs. Martin. They had great second grade years and they were always busy enjoying friends at birthday parties, soccer games T-ball, softball, gymnastics, acting classes, dance classes, art classes, and summer christian camps. The list is endless all the experiences Hubert and I gave them so they would feel comfortable in this crazy world. our church had Marti O'Rear work with our children and she was absolutely the best. They don't get any better than her. My daughters could not have gotten a better start than with Jackson primary teachers. The students at jackson also are some of the best. they don't get any better. School is almost upon us and I can't wait.

I remember having to read to you and dad the first homework assignment, and I didn't pass the next day at school. I came home and was like, I only missed a few, and then you looked at my sheet, and were like "six, is not a few". Leslie, you are going to have to do better than that. Me and dad work all day, and spent almost two whole hours on that, and you didn't pass. I got such a lecture that I passed every one after that and actually tied with Chad in my class for completing the reading assigments that year in first grade. Yeah, Chad and I were always in competition with each other. He moved out to California a year or so after first grade. I wonder what he is up to now... love you mom.
