Here is a little photo essay about all of the things that have happened in the past couple of months. Kiddos' schedules and conference planning and loan closing frenzies and whatnot have us a little busy, so our apologies for letting so much time pass!
Ella wrote her first five-paragraph essay and chose the ocean's plastic vortex as her topic. She got a very good score and high praise from her teacher, particularly for her good examples. In the paragraph about how we can make sure less plastic gets into the environment by reusing things, she suggests keeping plastic shopping bags in the car, "in case you have to throw up. Just make sure the bag doesn't have a hole in it." Sage advice.
Ella also got selected for fifth grade honors choir! We are so proud!
Annie (last week she announced she wanted family to start using her nickname again) is reading entire books out loud to us.
Annie graduated from Columbia Montessori Preschool.

| Our awesome readers. Swords add an element of danger. |
And Annie started summer school at Russell Boulevard Elementary School.
This summer is so complicated, I had to put up a giant calendar in the girls' bathroom so they would know where they are going to be each week. Whew. Off to work with me. Hope your summers are going well.
