The end of the year is here and I'm struggling to think
it's already this time again!
Charlie made amazing progress from the beginning of the year to now. He had his ups and downs, but in the end, things are clicking the right way as he's getting a little extra help from Sharla Ellens to help his mind read things as written. She's been an awesome help and Charlie LOVES his Tuesday meetings. The kid is brilliant with math; no struggle here! Both kids got their Daddy's math skills!
Addison has done remarkably well too! She completed a few of her books earlier last month and has just a few more things to complete to finish the year. She has learned to have a love-hate relationship with long division and has taken on a true passion to write. We find short stories in all sorts of journals and on the computer. Quite funny too!
Charlie had swimming lessons earlier this spring and will plan to take more with Teacher Shannon in July. Myriam has one more dance class until taking the summer off while Addison is into gymnastics, but has no desire to take classes. The girl is always doing cartwheels and round offs in the back yard!
I am busy writing my last school reviews for the year and then to clear out binders for the end of the school year. Goodbye 1st and 4th grade...
The kids had a share fair at school where they could show parents everything they've learned, wrote, made or created in their classrooms. I managed to find this sweet poem from Addison in Teacher Giesen's classroom. I treasure these love notes and with her taste for writing, my collection has grown over the past year! Charlie was busy showing me science experiments and including Myriam in the learning fun. This year was the first year we enrolled the kids into campus classes. I was nervous at first, but quickly saw the kids were okay with
a little of me letting go...
Addison has made some fabulous friends in her writing and science classes as well as Charlie too. There are play dates for sure scheduled for during summer to encourage these relationships. Thank you to Mp3 for making this transition easy for this mama!
We also registered both kids up for Art with Brenda Calvert this year! It's been a joy to see the creativeness being explored through all different techniques and applications in art class. We will miss our weekly sitings of Teacher Brenda! Addison entered her black and white piano painting into the art show last week and received 3rd place. Way to go! Charlie got artistic and painted a guitar which to me looks similar to the famous 'The Voice' red guitar.
He was so proud of himself!
Another year under our belts. The plan stands for all day campus classes next year which means less pre-planning for me. Myriam is already registered for Pre-school and is beyond thrilled to be in the same class as her bestie Marley.
For now...
Welcome Summer. Here's to the first neighborhood s'mores where many more will be consumed and had all in due time.
