I'm not sure about y'all, but May was crazy. The end of the school year was filled with so many activities, awards, and we somehow made it through and summer is here! I'm not sure I've ever been more grateful for a summer than I am right now.
All of the girls got out of school last week. Each of them had award ceremonies, each of them finished the year strong.
Adalyn wrapped up 3rd grade. Her teacher gave her an award for Right Hand Woman. I love that she's always so helpful in school.
DJ and I were both excited to be there for her! We are so proud of how much she's grown in 3rd grade. She reads more. She loves math, and she has made so many friends. She had a little boy in her class with disabilities and she would tell us about him so often and how she would help him. I love that she has a heart for helping her friends.
After Adalyn's awards, we dashed over to the middle school for Gretchen's 8th grade Bridge Ceremony. Y'all, we did it. We survived middle school for one kid, and I feel like that's worth celebrating! (only 2 more to go!)
Gretchen received her advancement certificate, along with an award for dance, and a school award that was given to only 2 girls and 2 boys. This award was voted on by all of the teachers, and we are so proud that she was one of the girls who earned it!
I can't believe she will be starting high school in a few months! I feel like I was just dropping her off for kindergarten.
On Thursday, Megan had her last day of elementary school! I don't remember her first day of school well, but I do remember taking her to meet her teacher and her finding out she had a friend in the class.
Last day of 3rd grade!
Last day of middle school!
Megan's bridge ceremony and award ceremony was on the last day of school. I walked them in, since I had to check in for all the festivities.
Her bridge ceremony was outside; the 5th graders lined up, and walked across a bridge saying goodbye to elementary school.
Then she received a class award!
She received an award for "Most Likely to Cheer You Up." 5th grade was an amazing year for Megan. She made friends and even talked to her teachers!!! In 3rd grade, she went the entire year barely speaking to her teacher; this year, she hung out with one of them at recess, and worked with another in small groups and really opened up. I remember when we moved, she had a few friends in gymnastics, but maybe 1 friend at school, and now she finished the year with 3 great school friends!
Next year, she goes to middle school!
All of the girls had an amazing year. After COVID, and homeschooling a year, I didn't want to send them back. I loved homeschooling, but these girls love school and seeing friends. We are so thankful our school year got back to "normal" at the end. It was a year that I was dreading; the mask drama, the covid drama, and by the end, all of that was gone (my kids actually didn't have to wear masks after I sent in a letter.); parents were let back in to the building for lunches and award ceremonies were in person. We are just so grateful to have ended the year on a high note.
