Jake's first grade buddies - Lawrence and Jack

These are pictures of award ceremonies throughout the year.  Jake had a fabulous year.  He grew like crazy academically and had great character. 

Sydney took a few videos of Jake's Christmas program.  Only in Florida is the Christmas program outside.  It was a nice night.  

Jake chose his good friend Jack to dance with.  At his age, there is no way he is going to dance with a girl:)

We have LOVED Mrs. Steger.  She is perfect for Jake - an absolutely AMAZING first grade teacher. She challenges him and motivates him so much.  We were so lucky to have her for Jake.

Sydney and 4th Grade

Sydney has Mrs. Lane for 4th grade and she LOVES her.  Mrs. Lane has done wonders for Sydney's writing and creative imagination.  Sydney loves all of her stories.  She has helped Sydney's self confidence by leaps and bounds.

This is the first awards ceremony of the year.  Sydney received the Principal's Award for her outstanding character and made all A Honor Roll.  Amazing little girl!!

Halloween pumpkin carving and relay races

 

 Sydney had to do a book report and present it to the class.  Since it was around Halloween, they had to decorate a pumpkin as their character.  Sydney read the book "Schooled".  The main character was a boy named Cap who was very much a hippie.  I think this inspired her own Halloween costume to be a happie too.  She also made his school locker out of a box.

Courtney, Siena, Sydney, Natalia, and Maggie.  Sydney has been so lucky to have close friends in her class this year.
