End of May

At the end of the school year, Laura, Josh and Megan all received awards.  Laura earned "The Great American Challenge" award. Since she was studying American history, she had to learn and pass off several things like the Preamble to the Constitution and the Gettysburg Address. The Gettysburg Address was pretty challenging and we were so proud of Laura for doing it! She was one of only two kids in her class to receive the award. Josh earned the Triumph Award. He had to pass of different things in math (like his times tables) and writing and we were very proud of him for earning his award also! Megan earned the Falcon Award. She also had to memorize and pass off different things (including the Star Spangled Banner that she practiced and practiced) and we were so excited when she completed everything! Laura, Josh and Megan also had their dance festival at school and we finished up the soccer season for Laura and Megan. Megan scored her first goal in one of her last games and was so excited! The last picture is from the last day of school. Moving to a new school this year was hard for all of them. Josh especially had a hard year. But, I'm extremely grateful for good teachers that took great care of them and taught them a lot. And, I'm so impressed with my kids for working hard, getting good grades, and making new friends. Lia worked really hard to end the year with straight A's. I am so grateful for all of them and for the opportunity I now have to be with them all summer!
