I don't know about you but May is 1000 times busier than December!
With 5 kids, 3 different schools, activities, clubs, sports, etc, each having a celebration, awards day, ceremony, program... it is CraZy!
Here is how it all came out.
(remember this is my blog and my way of preserving our memories and what transpired in our lives)
We will start with the littlest family member.
LULU:
Lulu came a LONG way this year in Pre-K.
From screaming and clinging to me at drop off to LOVING her new friends!
Socially, she is right on track now! WHEW!!!
She actually learned ALL her colors, shapes, numbers and letters...well "G" still trips her up. Sweet girl!
She was so excited to receive her "award", Pre-K Certificate!
She sat through all 4 older kids' Honors Days and now it was her turn!
She had Will, myself, Julia and Sam there cheering her on!
Gotta LOVE those teeny tiny wooden chairs!
All 3 of my Littles had Mrs. Wright. We LOVE her!
Lulu also did "gymnastics" this spring.
She got a "necklace" and was soooo proud of it!
I was amazed at how well she did.
Her physical issues didn't stop her at all! She can do ANYTHING!
Next up is JAIDA:
Jaida is very smart and a very hard worker. She is also very conscientious.
She did exceptionally well in school.
Jaida was awarded
Distinguished Scholar-all A's all year long
Outstanding Conduct
Sign Language Club participant-love that she actually can communicate to the hearing impaired!
IB Profile Award-this is a character award that was voted on by the class. So VERY proud that my baby girl has outstanding character and that it is recognized.
Jaida got to "loop" with this FANTASTIC teacher for 1st and 2nd grade! SO blessed by her!
Sweet Ms. Jenn the sign language teacher.
Jaida also participated in tumbling this spring.
She came a long way and I was so proud of how hard she worked to perfect items outside of class.
Way to go Jaida Ruth!
