Online PE

Last summer I took an online PE and health class. I did that so I would be able to take band and choir during the school year and I don't like PE and didn't want to take it at school. We learned of this option and thought it would be something good to try. It was okay and overall I'm glad I did it, but I kind of hated the process! I had to get a certain amount of physical activity each week and I wasn't a fan of that. I went to Mommy's boot camp class one day and did not like that at all so after that I did my own thing. I passed both PE and health with like a 98% or something, so I guess it was worth it! 

Piano Recital

I had a piano recital in November, even though I haven't been taking piano lessons this school year! I've been too busy with my school activities and my piano teacher has kind of been busy, too. But, she knows I love to perform, so she let me still be in the recital. I really like performing and playing the piano for people! 

Snow Day Fort

We had a whole week of snow days last month so Molly and I made a fort. We've made forts before, but I think this was the best one yet! We used a lot of blankets and even put up lights inside the tent. I loved hanging out in here working on my crochet projects. 

Diaper Bank!

So this summer me, Molly, and Mommy have done some volunteer work at a local diaper bank. We've gone a couple of times but haven't been able to go back because we got busy and were gone on vacation. But I really liked what we did there and hope we can go back soon. 

We had to take diaper packages and open them and up repackaged in groups of 25. That was my job. Molly's job was to stick a note in the package that said how many diapers there were and what size and then she passed them on to Mommy. Mommy wrapped them in up saran warp and then Molly put them in the box to go back on the pallets. I really enjoyed doing this and liked that I was spending my time helping people! I hope we can go back again before school starts! 

Late Birthday Party!

I celebrated my birthday with some friends a little late this year, but it was still fun! I took my two friends, Rowan and Darby, to 1984. 1984 is a 1980s-themed arcad and we had fun playing on all the games! I went there for my 5th grade field trip and thought it'd be fun to take my friends there. We were there for maybe 1.5 hours and then we went to Chick-fil-A for dinner! CFA is always good and we had fun being silly together. They they got to come over to my house and hang out for a while. It was a fun, late birthday party! 

Last Day of Elementary School!

I had my last day of elementary school on Thursday, May 23! It was a fun day, but I was tired because I had a hard time falling asleep the night before. I woke up to find that Mommy had decorated for my graduation! I thought it was pretty fun! 

We took our usual last day of school pictures at home and at school in front of the school sign and then we had a school assembly that morning. Mommy was there because of the PTA so she got to see my win the Citizenship Award for my class for the year! Only one person gets it for each class and this is actually my fourth time winning it! I won it in first, second, fourth, and fifth grade! I was really proud of this! I got some other awards, too.

We had a 5th Grade Clap Out that day where fifth grade parents got to come and clap for us as we talked down the hallways one last time. That was pretty fun but I was so sad and cried! It's just emotional because I have really liked Horace Mann Elementary School! 

We went home after school and Mommy got us Pineapple Whip to celebrate and then I got to open a few presents that Mommy had for me. One was a really pretty ring that has an L and my birthstone on it and one was a book Mommy has had all my teachers (since preschool) sign for me at the end of each school year. It was fun to read everything people wrote for me!
