Andrew is now a 6th grader!
He is out of Elementary school. Kind of sad. It is a great time of life.
No more Recess and having a single teacher for all your subjects.
The school put on a short Graduation ceremony for the kids. They have 3, 5th grade classes at his school. They picked two kids from each class to give a speech. Andrew's two good friends were picked. James and Sujeri. They did a great job. Then the teachers had the kids pick 3 words to describe their classmates with. They used the 3 words in the ceremony when calling up the kids to graduate.
It was fun to see the different personalities represented. I tried to upload a video, but it did not work. Uhg... Andrews words to describe him were: Funny, Calm and a Four Square Expert.
They also had one of the students sing. The back up music did not work, so she sang with out it. She did great. I think her name is Daisy. They also had a slide show for the kids. Highlights of the year and then of course baby pictures and photos of them today. Very cute, the kids loved it. Lots of fun music and some of them even danced during the show. Andrew did his belly roll for the crowd also. He got a big laugh out of that. :-) Silly boy, he said it was so appropriate as they were playing a Shakira song.
After the ceremony they had a little cake set up for the kids. As the kids left the gym the parents set up a archway for them to run thru. They loved it. Huge smiles on the kids faces!
Andrew loved his teacher! She was great! Miss Ottesen. I do agree with him. She was a Super teacher. Andrew really improved this year. She really helped support him and help him grow. She will be getting married very soon. We are all very happy for her. Thank you!
