Hooray! It's the last day of school and guess what? We survived another year. I love seeing all the social media posts comparing first day of school and last day of school photos. So, I’ve decided to hop on the bandwagon and participate.
Alex has finished fourth grade. Yes, fourth grade. Wasn’t he just four-years-old yesterday? This energetic, chatty kid will begin his last year of elementary school in the fall and I’m starting to see that it’s true what they say – it goes by so fast!
Highlights from Alex’s fourth-grade year include:
Advancing in the annual Academic Challenge Competition
Playing with penguins on his class trip to Newport Aquarium
Becoming a goal-scoring machine in his last season of U10 soccer
Participating in his first science fair (he researched exercise and heart rate)
Making the A-B Honor Roll all four quarters
And, last but not least, mastering the floss dance
Maddox made it through his first year of middle school and I think, despite him thinking it would be the worst years of his life (thank you Middle School series), he actually realized it wasn't that bad.
Highlights from the almost teen's sixth-grade year include:
Achieving the Honor Roll each grading period
Joining the track team and participating in meets
Learning archery and hitting a bullseye during a tournament
Singing his heart out in the Leestown Middle School Choir
Printing 3D models in Robotics Club
And, learning how to speak Spanish
Out for summer, out till fall, we might not go back at all!
If you need them, these two are busy being too cool for school – until next year!
