Ty finished second grade with an award for looking out for others all year. He is excited to experience third grade and has his heart set on a specific teacher I am fairly certain he won't have next year. We have been in meetings with the assistant principal and his current teacher throughout the year and know they have a specific person in mind to best suit his anxious personality. I fear the cool teacher isn't who they have preselected for Ty. I trust them even if he is disappointed.
When he got home from his final day of school, he announced he was on summer vacation and would be playing video games all night. We compromised. Instead of going to bed at 8pm, he got to stay up until 9pm. However, our thirty minutes of video game time per day rule remains. Believe it or not, he was so happy celebrating his new bedtime, he failed to note the lack of additional video time.
Kate graduated 6th grade with a ceremony celebrating the end of her elementary school career. She earned the Presidential achievement award for maintaining at least a 90% in course work and passing Istep testing. In addition, she earned acknowledgment for math and language arts excellence as well as perfect attendance for her final nine weeks of school. Obviously, she is grounded for the summer 😉.
Makenna performed an enthusiastic "it's my final school night ever" dance just before 11pm Tuesday night. This weekend holds graduation, a small party to celebrate and the kick-off to her final theatre commitment. All God's people said, "amen."
Kate and Ty have created summer bucket lists and I deliberately kept my babysitting commitment light for the next two months to embrace this season with my kiddos. Time flies; after all.
