Earning her Honors A.R. certificate!

The kids had a short last day of school.  There was an awards assembly in the morning and then a promotion ceremony for the 5th graders after that.  Then school was pretty much over.  I tried to get pictures of each of the kids.  Ella's class earned a pizza party, winning the spirit award for the last trimester of school.  Andrew had an ice-cream party (which I will have to get the photo off of James' phone-it's a good one!).  I am sad that Kaitlyn will no longer be at Oak Mesa, but look forward to what great opportunities she will have in middle school.  I was impressed with Kaitlyn.  She worked really hard this past year in school.  She was the secretary in student council, and she participated in S.W.A.T (a student mentoring program where the older kids help out the younger kids).  She had three main goals, earn her Honors level in the Accelerated Reader program (earning 100 points in quizzes taken on books she has read that are 6th grade level or higher), make Honor Choir and earn the Presidential Award (have a 3.5 gpa for 4th and 5th grade years and score advanced in state testing in either math or language arts-she got advanced in both subjects and earned straight A's)!!!  Ella also earned straight A's!  And Andrew is well prepared for 1st grade, reading books at a 2-3 grade level and writing short stories and paragraphs already!  Such a bunch of smartie pants!
