Hello Summer

Today was the last day of 2nd and 4th grade! 

Both Emory and Cason had great years! Cason of course was ready for summer right after Christmas and Emory not so much, she loves school so. Cason likes socialization more than school work, even though he does well in school. 

Soccer 2019

This year was a very wet soccer season. I really didn't take any pictures except for the last day. Cason was on the Cyclones and Emory the Honeybees. They both had good season's and played well. 

Marco Polo

About a month ago this little parakeet landed on the playground at school. The 4th grade class was outside and able to catch him. After a trip to the vet the class learned that the little bird was very thin but overall alright. Emory's teacher decided that they would keep him as the class pet. Meet Marco Polo. 

Emory is going to miss Marco Polo next year, but says she can visit him often. 

2nd Grade Garden

2nd Grade is responsible for the school garden and along with Mr. Jobe (volunteer grandparent) they work in the garden all year. They have grown different kinds of lettuce, cabbage, carrots, beans and onions. The garden is probably favorite thing. He has already told me we have to go work and pick things this summer.

Evan found a few carrots. 

They grew giant cabbages. Cason was impressed that they were all bigger then everyone's head. The kids were able to bring veggies home throughout the year they also used them in their boxcar stew from the Boxcar Children books.  Cason will miss the garden next year. 

2nd Grade Egyptian Day

Friday was Egyptian Day for Cason's class. They have been learning about Egypt all year and were excited for the day! 

My little Pharaoh!

The kids had lunch with Egyptian like foods, partook in an archaeological dig, made papyrus art, and watched a movie. It was a fun filled day!

Check-ups

On April 16th Cason and Eli both had their annual check-ups. 

Eli isn't very cooperative with getting his weight and height measured, so his wiggly weight and height were 38 inches tall (65th percentile) and 31.4 pounds (50th percentile). 

Cason is continuing to grow, although he is still playing catch-up since his zero growth between 6 and 7 years and his Celiac's Disease diagnoses last June. 

Cason weighed 51.2 pounds (25th percentile - 7 pound gain from his 7 year old check-up) and is 3' 10.5 inches tall (5th percentile - 2 inch gain from last year). He goes to see his specialist's this month and the plan is to recheck his blood levels. Everyone still feels his intestine is healing, as he has grown tremendously in the last year, however the blood work will tell us more. 

Fredonia 5/10

Bradley and Emory ran the Fredonia 5K today. Emory was 3rd in the overall female and Bradley 2nd in his age group. They both won a metal!
