School Rules

Our school year has started off great! We have had happy mornings (for the most part) and fun times in the afternoons. Everyone is adjusting well to their new teachers and I am adjusting to my new little Pre-K students.

I'll admit I am struggling with the whole 5th grade thing. I am okay with the 2nd grade and 3 year old class placements because that is still young sounding. 5th grade just seems so OLD....my baby is growing up.......I feel like we are on the verge of something......honestly, I know we are.

They are all growing up so fast (too fast) but I am learning to smile thru the tears in my heart and cheer them on to new adventures. Motherhood is not for sissies!

Anyway, enough sap. I'll just close by saying that they brought home their TCAP scores from the end of last year. I am pretty sure I'm raising geniuses :0)!

My 2nd and 5TH GRADER!

And the awards go to.......

The Zehr kids! Elijah and Macklin had awards day school this week. Elijah received awards for Outstanding Achievement in Social Studies, Top 5 in multiplication and division and Outstanding Achievement in the Science bowl. He also received a plaque for being on the Principal's List (straight A's) the entire year! Macklin received awards in 1st Grade Spelling, 1st Grade Reading (the speediest) and Hand Writing Mechanics (the irony overwhelms me.....I thought she was taking after me on this one, clearly she has overcome her genetic predisposition for terrible handwriting!). She also received an Outstanding Achievement award for being on the Honor Roll all year! After Macklin's award ceremony we went to her class room for a presentation of the play Alphabet Zoo. Macklin's role was Elmer the Elephant, the narrator. She gets her acting genes from her Aunt Amanda who also served as the narrator in her first grade play :0)~ I really could go on and on about their teachers. They have been such a blessing to our family and truly work to make a difference in the lives of children. Now.....let SUMMER BREAK begin!
