This school year my kiddos have been busy... busy being super duper!
Luke started his kindergarten year off to a great start! He was chosen for student of the month the very first month. His teacher, Mrs. Karlquist is the best! The Kinder teachers dress up like something that starts with the letter of the week every Friday. Any guess what the letter of the week was? Yep. "T" for Toothfairy. Kindergarten is the best! Way to go, Luke!
Last month the middle school had an honor roll assembly for the first quarter's grades. Derek got a Silver award and an award for doing a great job on his state testing last year. Derek has done a great job pulling his grades up!
Dylan was also recognized with a Platinum award for straight A's, as well as a recognition award for his state tests! Nice work, buddy!
The high school also had an assembly to recognize the kids who did great on their report cards at the end of last school year. I was surprised that the school would do that, but it was actually very nice.
Also also received his first Varsity letter for academics! Now we just need to get him a letterman's jacket! Nice.
They provided donuts and juice for everyone, even the parents, and when it was over they let the kids stay there and encourage the parents to spend the rest of the period with their kids. I like that. High schoolers are so busy and parents don't see them as much as they used to. I was grateful that the high school recognizes that and also recognizes that even teenagers need their moms and dads.
Alex wasn't the only one to get recognized. This who group were all in my seminary class last year. What a great group of kids! Nice job everyone!
Here is Alex's cell model project. It was a cake. We just went to Winco and found candy that looked like the parts of a cell. The only hard part was cutting a section out of the giant jawbreaker, but Grandpa helped with that. Who knew science could be so delicious?
Now he has to build a DNA model so I guess we will be heading back to Winco.
