Abigail Starts 6th Grade and Bryony Starts 2nd Grade

Only been back on American soil a few hours, but determined and excited to get back to school - so proud of these girls! I will miss them after being with them every day since May 25th

This is 6th grade, 2nd grade, and 2.5yrs Time flies! #gotgirls? #ABCD #whatjetlag?

                     

                     

End-of-Year Pool Party

The girls had a few friends over on the last day of school for lunch, swimming and cupcakes. Goodbye 5th Grade and 1st Grade, Hello Summer!

End-of-Year Game Night Party

I posted about this last year - that we have a fun Family Game Night on the last day of school every year. The girls also get a gift for all their hard work and are allowed to eat as much candy as they want. I went overboard this year because Bryony got "excellent" across every subject and life skill on her report, and Abigail hit the Honour Roll despite struggling through some grade-ahead math this year. They're both my superstars!

Abigail - Viola

At the start of 4th Grade, students have the option to join the Strings programme if they want. Abigail chose the viola and, thanks to an enthusiastic young teacher, was up and running very quickly. In fact, all the kids were playing within no time and by the end of the school year we were treated to their first performance. It was hard for me to capture any video because I had a wriggling toddler on my lap the whole time. Hopefully Jake got it :/

   

 

Bryony's Kindergarten End-of-Year Play

Just like Abigail before her, Bryony was chosen to be the narrator in the class play, because she is the best reader in the class. #smartypants.

Abigail in the Variety Show

I'm so disappointed that the video is too large for Blogger to upload here. Message me if you want to see it - it's the most touching rendition of 'Lost Boy' - I'm so proud!
