Caroline’s 5th grade program

Today was the 5th grade program at Caroline’s school.  I actually didn’t know that they were going to have the program until this morning.  I usually go walking every morning with a friend in the neighborhood who has kids almost the identical ages as mine.  She mentioned that she had to go to her son’s fifth grade program today.  I asked whether it was just his class or if it was all of the fifth graders and she said it was all of them.  I am glad she said something because I would have missed it.  I think Caroline didn’t mention it because she thought that I would embarrass her in front of all her friends.  I don’t know why she would think that because all the parents were in the dark for most of the program( I didn’t take very good pictures because of it).  I love Caroline very much and I think she did a great job.  She even had a speaking part at the beginning (I only wish I could have taken better pictures!)  Here are some of the very out of focus pictures I took of the event.

Spring Flower pictures

I like to go around my yard in the spring taking pictures of the pretty flowers in my yard.  Here are a few for you to look at:

Caroline’s Mississipi State Report

I also went today to Caroline’s class to see her float she made for her state report.  She has been working for a couple of weeks on it and was excited for me to see her hard work. All the kids in her class were sitting in a circle by their desks and showed off their state reports to their parents and all the other 5th graders. She was so proud of her work that right when I go there, she had to show me that she got a 95 out of 100.  I was really impressed.  Great job, Caroline!

Diana’s Princess Book Report

Today Diana presented her book report on Princess Jeweliana and the Sparkling Rainbow Ball, by Allia Zobel to her class.   She took one of her princess costumes and fairy wings so she could tell the class all about her book as if she was the main character.  She did it all on her own and did not even have a cheat sheet to read off of.  I forgot to take a picture while she was giving her report so I had to take the following pictures while she watched the other kids give their reports.  It was a lot of fun.
