Wicked Party!

Time for a little throwback to Anna Kate’s 11th birthday party way back in January. 

It was a “Wicked” themed birthday party, even though I told her I’d rather it be a “Wizard of Oz” party. She didn’t like that idea. 

We did an escape room/scavenger hunt type game in two teams. That was fun!

We didn’t have many guests because of sickness and snow. We always seem to have those problems around her birthday every year. But we had a good time regardless!

It was quite a fun little party!

Summertime!

Our little breakfast club decorated our room on the last day of school. So fun!

Steven won the smart cookie award. Very fitting.

Cannot believe it’s already summertime! Ready or not, here comes camp!
 

Graduation After-Party!

Uncle Chris airbrushed towels for the graduates.

 

More Graduation!

One of my sweet ESL students, Esme. 

Two more sweeties, Christopher and Gustavo. 

Lydia’s math teacher, Mrs. Brewer. She went to Soddy Daisy High!

During the ceremony, Lydia got to stand for being in the top ten and also for the Presidential Honors Award (or something like that. Ha!) That means she had all A’s and scored high on the TCAP from 4th-8th grade. 

She also received the Band Director’s Award. She loves band, whether she’ll admit it or not!

And then she won the Young Writer’s Award. That was a shock! Didn’t see that one coming. She is good at writing, but I think maybe it has more to do with being the teacher’s pet. Ha! Either way, so proud of her for being chosen for that award!

These are Lydia’s clarinet friends. 

Mrs. Tilley, Lydia’s sweet history teacher. 

And there ya have it! Actually, there are even more pictures coming. Ha!

8th Grade Graduation!
