Jocelyn did a great job in Second grade! Like McKailyn, she had to adjust to a new school and if you watch the videos below, she had to adjust to an entire new curriculum and teaching style as well!
Jocelyn and her wonderful teacher, Mrs. Parker
Jocelyn and her friend, Zera
Jocelyn and her friend, Mackenzie
Mrs. Parker mentions this in the below video, but Jocelyn had a tough time when the school year started, especially with having to learn Phonics and a new style of cursive hand writing. Through her tears of frustration, Jocelyn pressed on with extra homework and did exceptionally well. Jill & I are very proud of her for never giving up and always giving her best effort.
Jocelyn went from being very frustrated early in the year to being recognized as the second highest grade in the entire class. She missed 1st place by a tenth of a point!!! We are so proud.
Jocelyn received a special discipline award since she was the only kid in second grade who didn't get their name written on the board all year! Before the video started, Mrs. Parker mentions that she usually doesn't give out this award, because normally there isn't a student w/o their name on the board all year. It was also very neat because Mrs. Parker paused before saying Jocelyn's name and then all the other students yelled out Jocelyn's name and were very happy for her.
