End of School Year Craziness!

Another school year has flown by!  And the last month of school is always the craziest/busiest of them all.  Lots of fun though.  If I was a better blogger I would have written a whole post of each event, but...I'm not.  So there.  ;)  Instead, I'll just highlight some of the bigger events.
The older two girls were involved with the school choir concert.  They love to sing.  Our school doesn't have a regular choir program, so this was the first time my girls have had an opportunity to be in a school choir.  They each had a couple of moments in the spotlight, so to speak.  Breanna had a speaking part and Becca put together a slideshow for one song and played the drums in another.  I'm sure choir concerts will be regular occurrences in our future.  Can you pick them out of the crowd?

Projects and more projects.  The last half of the year is full of them.  Here is Breanna on her pioneer day, holding her book report on Number the Stars.

Band concert.  I will refrain from stating my opinion on what a goofball the band teacher is, although he didn't even conduct the band once during the concert.  Oh wait...I just did.  Anyway, I'm still quite annoyed with him, so I will just say that Becca played the flute really well.  :)

Rebecca was also on a team, with good friends Cassie and Andrew, for Battle of the Books.  They won at the school level and went on to compete in the District Finals.  They did great!  (Can't locate my picture of that right now.)
TALENT SHOW!  This is always so fun for the kids.  This is our kids' 3rd talent show to participate in a small group with their cousins, Emily and Kacy.  The song was called "Chocolate" and they used lots of props.  It was a little stressful getting things ready and practicing, but they did great and they were a big hit!

Katie's kindergarten class did an act too.  She can twist, mash potato, and shake it with the best of them!  Too cute!

Breanna's class did an act to "Rockin' Robin."  With gloves like that, you know it was good.  :)

The sixth graders did a farewell act too, but the lighting was bad so no picture.  They changed the lyrics and sang to the tune of "Moves Like Jagger."  Sixth graders have to be cool like that.
 Awards assembly.  So proud of Rebecca and Breanna.  They are very good students.  Do you see the stack of certificates Becca is holding? :)

 Last day of school is so hard.  Lots of tears were shed.  This was Rebecca's last day at Falcon Hill.  She will be attending a charter school in the fall and none of her classmates will be at the same school.  She will still see friends at church but it isn't quite the same.

Breanna is lucky to have two really close friends, and one is even her cousin.  She had so much fun this year.

Katie loved her whole class.  I love that they can have so many "best" friends in kindergarten.

We had two graduates this year.  Rebecca graduated from elementary school.  Can't believe it!  She is growing up way too fast.  I am so proud of her and the young woman she is becoming.

Katie graduated from kindergarten.  Wow!  (They didn't really have a ceremony, just took a picture and sent it home on the last day.  Feel kinda gypped, actually.)  She is reading so well. Her teacher gave her a few Junie B. Jones books and she finished them in a couple of days.  She is a sponge.

I'm so proud of all our children.

But I'm so glad May is over!  Whew!
