Last Day of School

It is so hard to believe we made it to the end of the 2020-2021 school year (well at least for Shane and the boys - I have another week to go). We were so fortunate that no one in our family ever had to quarantine and no one missed any school. The boys were both supposed to have field days this past week, but due to an abnormally high amount of rain every day, they were both cancelled. However, they will each have an End of the Year Party today, but of course, no parents are allowed. Luckily, today is the last day the boys have to wear masks to school as they have said that as of tomorrow, no masks will be required in TISD. 

Upon leaving school for their last day, I requested they each get a picture with their teachers. Not having school events where parents could attend was difficult - I felt like I never was able to really get to know their teachers. But gosh, we were oh so fortunate for great teachers this year. Camden loved both of his teachers, but Ms. Whitley does, and I think always will, hold a special place in his heart. She is one of those 'once in a lifetime teachers' and he has learned so many great things from her aside from 5th grade curriculum, including (but definitely not limited to) a love for great 80's music and how to care for reptiles! I am keeping my fingers crossed that she doesn't go anywhere for a few years so Casen can also experience having her as a teacher.

Shane was able to accomplish getting Camden's pictures, and I emailed Casen's teachers and got back the sweetest pic.

At their 'End of the Year Party' the 3rd grade class received a T-shirt and each of Casen's classmates signed it.

Casen received 2nd place in the Mileage Club and placed first in the Fitnessgram Curl-Ups. I did not realize he was upset that he did not receive first in Mileage Club, but his PE coach asked Shane if he was OK as she noticed he was upset after not receiving first. The student that did get first was not in his PE class, so I think he did not even realize that anyone was ahead of him. Regardless, I am super proud of him!
