School is over for the kids

Not the same child from April 2006 in Guatemala with momma to May 2008. This child has come a long way in only two years. The top photo was our last day in Guatemala the morning we left to come come we went to Cameraros (sp) Gabby ate breakfast I was still getting over the food poisioning. The second photo was when Mike, Gabby, and I took a tour of Guatemala City.
Any now the happy Pre-K graduate.. What a smile. A very beautiful little girl I know I am bias

Today was the last day of school for Gabby and Syndey. Gabby had her little Pre-K graduation which we all went to. Than we took her out to lunch and went back to work. She got to go with momma and play in my classroom with my students. Pictures will be posted later I left the camera in the car and don't feel like going to get it. Gabby got to see coach Staebell at my school and got a snow cone from the softball teams snow cone sale. I have attached her graduation photo from school. The ones of the small ceremony will be added later.

Sydney finished up her Kindergarten year as the top student in Kindergarten (pretty impressive since there were 235 Kindergarten students). We have made a family decision to leave her at Magill because the gifted teacher wants to test her as soon as the year starts and if we move her to Youth with Gabby they will not do it till the ITBS test is given. By then she will be half way through 1st grade and her Kindergarten teacher said she is already half way through with the 1st grade curriculum. So she will stay at Magill and if she tests well will be served through the gifted program. She is a real sponge when it comes to knowledge. I have never known a kid to want to read and learn all the time. Especially since I was happy to get a 65 or higher (65 was a D and passing back than). If it had not been for sports I don't know if I would have made it through school. As for school I am in the middle of my second set of classes for my EDS and love one of my classes the other I could do without. I would love to finish by next April. If all goes well I may continue and get my ED.D. We will see.
