Yesterday was the last day of school for Jacob and Spencer. It was so nice this morning not to have to rush around getting everyone ready and out the door. Yesterday Jacob's class had a little end of the year party that the parents were invited to attend. It was at noon, so I put the two little ones down for naps and then left them and William with a sitter so that I could go over. It will be so nice when William is old enough to babysit. Anyway, the party was nice. Mrs. Phan had little awards for each of the kids.
Here is Jacob with his award. He got the Almond Joy award for being one of the happiest kids in class.
No this is not a police line up, it is Jacob with some of his friends from school.
The kids had made pinatas earlier in the day and then during the party we went out and they broke them. This is a picture of Dylan, a little girl who Jacob has become really good friends with since moving to this new school. She is a sweetheart!
The pinatas needed a little help.

This is the pinata that Jacob's group made.
Digging in!
Jacob got mostly bookmarks. I think the pinatas were the teachers way of getting rid of a lot of stuff she had left over from the year. This is her last year of teaching.
These are Jacob's 5th grade buddies. The 5th and 6th graders are buddied up with kids in the younger grades. The buddies are basically responsible to help their buddy out with anything they are in need of during the year. They came into the classroom once a week (I think) to work on projects with their buddies. Seems like a neat setup. Jacob sure thinks his buddies are great!
Jacob and Mrs. Phan. She has been a great teacher for Jacob in the time that he has been at this school.
It was a tough decision to move Jacob and Spencer to a new school in the middle of the school year, but it has definitely turned out the be the right one. Although I love many things about Benjamin Franklin Charter School, the structure here fits their personalities and their needs at this time much better then Ben Franklin did. I am glad that they ended out the school year successful and happy! All three boys will be attending Patterson Elementary next year and we are all very happy about that!
Wednesday evening we had our bug man come spray again because we have had a lot of trouble with ants and cockroaches in the house. EWWW! We have also seen two mice in the house now, so we have set traps for them as well. Lets hope we can get rid of some of these unwanted guests!
Also last night the boys had rehearsal again so it was a hot pockets for dinner night and off they went. I am excited to see them in the play, and excited to have them finished with rehearsals! Just a few more weeks!
Today has been a little calmer and I hope to have calmer days ahead. I did meet with Bryce's new case manager today for his quarterly report. It's good to have that out of the way.
