School officially ended June 3rd for the kids,
but it's just finally starting to feel like Summer.
It's been relatively cool to say the least.
A few weeks prior to the end of school Alex came home with a note instructing him to
create a car out of cardboard and bring it on the last day of school for
a drive in movie experience.
Alex got in the van that day with his note in hand and immediately asked to call Uncle Aaron.
He didn't want me or Dad to help him.
He had crazy plans already going on in his head and he knew
he needed Uncle Aaron's help.
Alex's car was very cool and he had the only car with wheels that actually worked!
He even had a real go cart seat!
He was so excited!
Thank you Aunt Misty and Uncle Aaron for all your help!
I snapped a few quick pictures with my phone the morning of the drive in movie.
A few of the cars were just your basic box cars but a few of them went all out!
Alex loved the star wars plane that his friend made.
He is already making plans for next year.
(Misty and Aaron; this is your one year warning and next year we'll need two!)
Alex, Hallie and Nadya celebrated the of the school year with a fun field day.
It was a cool, windy day, but that didn't stop anyone.
(Pictured left if Alex throwing the ball and dunking his friend, Harrison in the dunk booth! It was funny because everyone was telling Harrison he was going down and Harrison said, "No, he won't dunk me.
He's my friend!" Ball connects and down he goes! Well done Alex!!!!!!!
All the 6th graders got to take a turn in the dunk booth.
Lucky for Hallie, I captured it play by play on my camera.
Poor thing... It was windy and cold.....
To end off the day the firetruck came and hosed the kids down.
Alex didn't last long. It was just too cold.
Nadya took her umbrella and I couldn't find Hallie in the mess of kids.
Hallie left her last day of Elementary school with huge crocodile tears.
She was so sad to be leaving such a great school.
It was heart breaking, but I know she will love Jr High!
Carter celebrated his last day at his school with a fun day at Cowabunga Bay.
(Again, it was a bit cold, but their lazy river is well heated so the kids could always warm up.)
Carter was a little too brave for me and ended up going down all the slides!
Nadya came too, but Alex and Hallie did not want to
leave early on their last day of school in order to attend.
I had very mixed emotions about Carter's last day of school.
He is leaving an amazing place and he is doing so well there.
I hate making decisions like these as a parent!
It was his last day officially on June 2nd and he'd been there since he was 18 months.
I have no doubt the amazing influence that school has had on him.
They have helped shape him into the sweet, god loving boy that he is.
We consider ourselves very lucky to have had Carter and Alex attend such a great school.
A school that has blessed not only our boys, but our entire family over and over.
It is sad to move on, but I am just not sure we want to continue to pay private tuition
when we have such a great public school option.
Both boys will be in the Magnet program (accelerated class) at one of Utah's best public schools.
And of course, nothing is set in stone.
We would be welcomed with open arms back to our private school if need be.
And I can't end this entry with out bragging.
Sorry, it's my blog and I'll brag if I want to!
My kids all had AMAZING report cards.... Alex finished the year with all E's and H's.
(Something he did all three terms!)
Nadya had all A's except one measly math grade! (Way to go!)
And, she scored a 27 on her DWA (Direct Writing Assessment)
That blows my mind! 30 is the top score and 22 was the state average.
A girl who four years ago couldn't speak or write English just scored a 27!
They assess the kids using the 6 traits of writing and they can earn up to five points for each trait.
She got three 5s and three 4s.
Way to go Miss Mae!
You are an amazing girl!
Hallie had all A's and B's!
Yeah Hallie!!!!! All your hard work paid off!
And Carter's report card is being mailed along with his SAT scores,
so we will have to wait on those.
But, I fully expect it to be like his last three report cards which were fantastic!
Bring on the Warmer Weather.........
We are Ready for Summer!!!!!!
