School Finale cont.... (seriously this is it promise!)

Yes, Yes I am a fan of my kids and I have shared every single thing they've done, but this is for me :)

As one last note, some before and after photos of this school year



 
Ah they grow up so fast!

School Finale

Well all the kiddos did great this year. Very proud of them! Both Garrett and Embrie worked extra hard to complete some extra tasks in school and earn their Mountain Lion Award. Good job dudes!

 
Garrett has and end of the year school (opera/musical) play. He played a Shepherd in the play
 "Jack & Jane & the Beanstalk"
He is not a fan of singing in public. He did a stint in school choir, but for the most part it's not his thing. His teacher put him in charge of stopping and starting the stage music too. He was so excited to be the "tech" guy.
 

 
 He also received a "Knights of the Math Table" Award and was "knighted" by the principle. For excellence in passing off his math facts.
 
And Finally I was also able to go with Garrett on his class field trip to the Red Butte Gardens and the History Museum. That was fun as I have never been there. (This field trip was rescheduled due to bad weather earilier this spring so it was at the tail end of the school year.)
 
 
Garrett and his teacher Ms. LeBeau whom we also loved! So great that we had such awesome teachers!
 
 


Finishing up the pre-school year

Maren is a doll. She had a pretty big class in preschool this year, but we continue to love our family preschool teacher who does a great job with the kids. Maren grew and learned so much this year! Here are some cute pictures from her preschool program at the end of the year.

 
This little miss is NOT shy which is a new thing for our kiddos. She loves to sing and dance so this program was right up her ally! She also memorized her part and spoke loud and clear with little persuasion.


 
It took her a little while to make friends partly because she is the youngest (and smallest) in her class, having an August birthday, and partly from the number of kids in the class, but she ended up with some buddies and loving it.
With Ms. Bre`. Love her. Maren has learned so much this year!
 
 
 

Finishing up our school year

Embrie did a lot of great things with school this year too, however, I am finding that I don't have as many pictures of her stuff for some reason. When she first started Kindergarten she was very shy. Probably my most shy child of the three. During her first meeting with her teacher Ms. Purvis, Embrie was shy and quiet. There were no friends that she already knew in her class, it was all new. Throughout the school year we noticed just how much she had blossomed! She is much more outgoing at school. She is even more confident in sports and dance! It is amazing to see how much she has grown.

This picture was taken in the van when I dropped her off at school one day this year. What a pretty girl!
 
on the 100th day of school they dressed up as grandmas & grandpas and then got to do a computer photo to make them look older so funny! Embrie made the picture on the right to show what she will look like when she is 100 years old.

She also wants to be a vet when she grows up.
 
I was so lucky to be able to go on her class field trip to the Zoo and this was our crazy group!
 



Ms. Purvis and both her AM & PM classes.
 
Embrie with Ms.Purvis on the last day of school. We loved her teacher, she was so great! And Embrie did so well this year. She mastered everything. Her report cards were always fantastic and her final one was absolutely perfect! And she is far above grade reading level. I was so happy for her, she does work very hard. (yes yes I know it is only kindergarten but a mama can still be proud!) 1st Grade here we come!
