End of School Year

The school year is winding down .... which means there are events happening nearly every day in the month of May

Crazy Hair Day!

We had fun playing nerf tag for the end-of-year celebration for Girl Scouts.

We spent an afternoon downtown with friends (the Harts) at the "Living Traditions Festival".  We took the Trax for an extra level of adventure.

  

Carolyn was recognized at school for being one of two kids in her 4th grade class that finished the Excellent Eagle program -- this program is available to all students and is awarded to anyone who does 10 extra school projects throughout the year that are related to the lessons and topics required by the curriculum.  She did some great projects, including a photography project, a video and game to teach equivalent fractions, maps and presentations about the Utah biomes and landmarks she has visited, the science fair, a formal letter to the principal (asking to install waste baskets in the girls bathrooms - there were none!), and a journal about service work she has done in the community.   In full disclosure, 4th grade has been a challenging year for Carolyn.  She has earned Ds and Fs in just about every subject.  She forgets to turn in her work, fails to write her name on work, and absolutely hates doing worksheets everyday.  That said, she does quite well on tests and absolutely loves doing projects.  Some day, she will pull it all together, I suppose!
