The beginning of this year was bittersweet. We parted ways with our homeschooling years and moved forward into private school. Boy it went by fast!! It was quite an adjustment. At home his assignments were given and he completed one before he started another. At school he had to finish it at home. Keeping up pace in a group setting is different than on his own. He was usually done with all his school work by 1:00, with some breaks. But, that was probably the biggest adjustment. The LONG day. But, he really enjoyed art, p.e everyday, and band. He managed to make all A's and B's. I thought he did great for having to make such a big adjustment. His teacher, Mrs. Rodriguez, was already a family friend. We were delighted she would be his teacher. She had her first baby this year so JD also had the blessing of Mrs. Cahill as a substitute. We are thankful for their great team work.
He did a major invention project this year, he made a hot air ballon out of Legos. He also made a video series completely made with Legos of the Holy Week. (and went to Lego Land for his birthday)
This year he participated in:
Band
Card Club
Basketball
Baseball (pictures to come after he gets his award)
Handbells
Drama Club
Several fundraising for our Mission trip with the church to Haiti!
And continues to be a book worm!!
Went on the 5th/6th grade Camp Lonestar retreat.
All of this kept him pretty busy but he had a wonderful time! Here are some pictures of this wonderful year!!
