They did it. All three kids graduated from their current grade and moved on up to the next. They even got little certificates to prove it. What a happy day.Highlights from the year-
*Sophie's straight A's, for the entire year.
*Grayson's straight A's for quarters 2, 3, and 4.
*Grayson raising a painted lady butterfly from a Caterpillar.
*Grayson getting a special certificate for scoring in the top 10% in the nation on the Iowa test in social studies.
*Gavin getting to go on twelve field trips with his sixth grade class.
*One of those being Space Camp and getting to be the Ambassador of Earth.
*Sophie loving her teacher, Mrs Farnworth.
*Sophie learning how to quilt for a social studies project and accidentally sewing her quilt square to my bedroom carpet. Oops!
*Grayson getting a gift certificate to cold stone for having the cleanest desk.
*Sophie getting a king size candy bar for having one of the cleanest desks.
*Gavin getting through sixth grade with a smile on his face even when he didn't feel like smiling.
