Shakespeare Festival & Cameron's last day

Cameron's school does an annual Shakespeare festival where the kindergarten thru second grade boys sword fight and the kindergarten thru second grade girls dance. The rest of the grade levels put on a full Shakespeare play at night. It was so neat to see all the children dressed up. They all worked really hard practicing & enjoyed learning about Shakepeare. After the sword fighting & dancing they had a schoolwide festival with lots of games & food. I just love that little school!

Last day of school scavenger hunt & party

Cameron had a great year with Mrs. Costello. He received the highest marks in all subjects & his teacher had nothing but positive things to say about him. We are very proud of him!

Last time in Kindergarten, 1st grade here he comes!

Field trips with Cameron

Some pictures from the field trips I took with Cameron's class in April & May.

Cameron was trying to hold still so a butterfly would land on him

But one landed on me instead

Field study at Crones Cradle Conserve, an ecological preserve and education center in Citra. The kids learned about bees, worms and plants.

February Photos

 

We had a breezy day and the kids were excited to get the kites out & fly them. Its not too often that we do that!

 

 

The father/daughter dance is held every year around Valentines Day and is a fundraiser for Cameron's school. Its always something that Olivia looks forward to going to with Charles. This was her second year attending.

We hosted 2 boys from China for 2 weeks in early February. Its something we've done for the past 4 or 5 years and we always enjoy it. Cameron & Olivia loved having the older boys to play with. We took them bowling one weekend which was a big hit with them.

 



Farewell party/graduation for the boys

 

Of course they had to have a horseback ride before they left!

 

Cameron has been getting riding lessons from my dad & seems to be enjoying it so far. I hope he sticks with it!



Had to take a picture of this cute girl!!
