LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!

  

Our school says goodbye to the 5th graders by a "clap out".  Here's Amelia this afternoon on her way out being celebrated by the entire school staff, students and families.

 But then.. we went back into school to find the sisters.  Here they are on their last day of Kindergarten, Third and Fifth grades!

 Here's Drew on the bus with Ms. Donna this afternoon.

Here's a happy Drew after school eating a chocolate peanut butter brownie.  LET SUMMER BEGIN!!!

Jenna Work

School is coming to an end and the kids are coming home with a lot of their work.  I loved this one of Jenna's.... Let me translate...

"To Mom                                       May 28, 2015
How to have a baby.  First you need to be fat to go to the hospital!!  If it hurts just close your eye and fall asleep.   When you hear some crying just look a little in your dream.  After you look a little in your dream, wake up then you have your baby.  Thank you Jenna"

Award for Amelia

 Happy girl!  Going home early!

AWARDS

 

Amelia received an award this morning for "Academic Effort" for this 4th  quarter!  She was surprised!

And at the same time.. Jenna was in class performing the Kindergarten end of year program and receiving her class award, "Thorough Thinker".

 

Jenna was also surprised at her awards assembly with a "Character Counts" award for this 4th quarter.  

 Ava came home with this "perfect attendance" award.  The only one of my kids to get that... ever...

Wow!

AND...........just like that.  Jenna's second tooth falls out while swimming this afternoon!  Busy week!

Amelia's 5th Grade Celebration

 This afternoon the 5th grade graduating class of GVES celebrated with a BIG party.  Here is Amelia when she first saw me.

 Here she is where I made her pose in front of the photo booth props (the diner scene).  The theme of the party was decades.

Jenna Looses her FIRST Tooth

 

Jenna came off the bus with this note from the nurse and her first lost tooth!  Yeah!!  It's been hanging on for quite awhile.

 

Now, for the other hanging tooth to fall out... Her permanent teeth are already there behind.  Tooth Fairy tonight!
