It's amazing how many activities get crammed into the end of the school year! Especially when you have kids at 4 different schools! It makes life extra busy and hectic, but it's fun too! The band played at several events, including the high school open house.
Tyler made pineapple salsa for the Spanish class salsa competition. So naturally, he wore his Mexican wig and drew on a mustache. Spencer walked around to all his classes with us.
It was good salsa!
Brennan went there straight from Cub Scouts, and he was hungry! He enjoyed eating ALL the salsas!
Chloe just goes to pet the animals in the ag department.
Brennan participated in his first Battle of the Books. He only read half the books, and his team didn't win, but he had a lot of fun, and it inspired him to read more BOB books this year!
Dallin enjoyed having band with his cousin Peter last year.
Dave was out of town for his sister's wedding, but the rest of us went to the band concert.
Spencer played bassoon in concert band last year.
This was the last concert with their previous band teacher, Mr. Galvan, who has since moved to the middle schools. Their new band teacher does not require them to wear tuxes for the their concerts.
Chloe and I went to a few field trips. Brennan's class went to the beach.
Levi's class also went to the beach. They went to the aquarium, played at the park, and flew kites and played in the sand. Chloe loved it!
Dallin finished another perfect year (straight A's!) and of course got into all his projects.
Chloe's last day of preschool!
Her graduation marked the end of an era. We've been taking our kids to this preschool since 2004! Brennan and Levi went for the cookies (which they've always served after the graduation), but they didn't have cookies this year! They were pretty disappointed, so we made cookies when we got home.
Last day of school for Levi and Brennan!
They both really liked their teachers! Brennan's teacher, Ms. Rodriguez, was the GATE teacher, and she did a great job working with Brennan's ADHD, helping him with his specific needs, and appreciating his creativity and sense of humor. We were originally worried about Levi being in a kinder/1st combo, but Mrs. Goldbach did such a great job, and it was a such a good group of kids, that it worked out just fine. We were thrilled when Chloe got her as a teacher this year!
Spencer and Tyler came home from their last day of school with a car full of instruments to practice over the summer.
Their previous band teacher told them they'd have to march with the melaphone (Tyler had never played brass before, and Spencer wanted to play baritone sax), so they took them home to practice over the summer. Luckily their new band teacher let them play whatever they wanted!
Then they went around and collected all the instruments in our house (except the piano and ukulele), and this is what they came up with!
