A Week in Review

Wow!!! 

It was a busy week.

Yep, asparagus is in FULL swing --- thank-you warm weather :)

Yep, I'm still teaching -- LOVE the Tall Tale FINAL unit!!!

AND yep, our kids have MANY events in the evenings right along with all the normal daily 'things!'

So, I thought I would give a quick review --- 

My Darling's class finished their Rain-forest unit with A RAIN-FOREST OPEN-HOUSE!

Each child picked an animal to do EXTRA on -- they needed to do a report, make a diorama and have a costume. 

Yes, my dear daughter picked an IGUANA!!!

AND Yes, we made it as pretty and girly as possible :)

They started the evening with a fun presentation of many songs and skits they learned throughout the unit.

The full group

 My Darling HAPPILY singing along

My Darling doing her part in the skit -- she was a sloth.

Next, they each had to give a presentation of their animal.

Their prepared cards were all written like the animal they picked was talking....

"I am an iguana."

The BEAUTIFUL iguana giving her presentation/speech.

Each child had to describe and show their diorama.

Showing off her diorama.

They also had face painting, arts/crafts, games and yummy food.

It was a fun evening.

NEXT,

JM had a choir and band concert.

He likes to sing and sounds great.

BUT

He LOVES to play his trumpet.

I did promise him private lessons next year and he can't wait!

 He sounded great.  I can't believe he's only been playing a year.  He LOVES to practice.

At the end taking a bow.  Love the bow-tie.

We also had the final night of bible memory at Awana.

This is an awesome program our church uses to help kids learn about the bible AND earn money to help pay for summer camp(olders)/earn gift cards (youngers.)

MD, JM and My Darling learned all of the verses and BaJabs made a good dent.  Elizabeth will join in next year.

The boys went to The Whitecaps game.

It was a beautiful evening to go to the game.

So sad, the team lost by 1 point. 

AND

mom and dad did NOT attend so there is no pictures.

FINALLY,

MD had a band concert.

He performed with the jazz band.

They were great.

I could of listened to them the entire concert!

AND he also performed in the full band.

He really likes the symphony and jazz band -- not so much the marching band.  He plans on continuing with band next year. 

They did a great job!!!

The end of the year always holds so many activities.

It is fun to see the progress the kids have made in the course of the school year.  Yep, it's busy but still fun to see each perform.
