Field Day

May 21, 2024

Yesterday was a revised version of MBE Field Day! No more class costumes, no more winners – just a fun day with activities both indoors and outdoors and dressed in their house colors. One thing we didn’t change was donuts in our yard before school! Samantha’s class came to our yard and the entire 5th grade went to GJ’s yard.

5th grade boys didn’t have quite as much flair as the 3rd grade girls!

I went over before lunch to watch Samantha’s grade in the relays and it was cute…and really hot!

I went back that afternoon in time for 3rd grade tug of war at 1:10 like the schedule said but whenI got there (early!) they were already doing it and I missed it. I’m so sad.

This was Samantha’s telling me I missed it. She was sad too. Her class won tug of war – the only thing they were allowed to have any kind of winner in. Hooray!

I did get get this cute picture though!

I then got to see 5th grade do their relays…and a certain MBE alum tagged along and got dragged into participating!

Overall it was a fun field day I think. Not as over the top as previous years but maybe that’s a good thing. Maybe, maybe not. One more day of school!!

Would love to hear from you! 5 Comments

Alpine

May 8, 2024

Last week Spencer went to Camp Alpine with the 5th grade. They were gone Monday through Friday and got to do all sorts of fun outdoor activities that tied into what they’ve been studying. From what I heard from all the chaperones, it was just a fantastic week all around. Everyone got along, there was very little drama, no trouble, and plenty of fun. Spencer agreed – he had a great time and even said the food wasn’t as bad as he thought it was going to be! ha! I’ll call that a win.

Off they went early Monday morning…

I didn’t get much communication from anyone during the week – just 1 or 2 pictures. The day before they came home, I did get a text from my friend that was there and she said that she was talking to a group about what they were most looking forward to when they got home – Spencer said clipping his toe nails! hahahahaha! Guess we should have cut them before he left!

A great week all around for this awesome kid. I sure do love him and am so happy he’s thriving at school and beyond. He’s a good, good kid and I’m so proud of him.

Wax Museum

May 6, 2024

The third grade just completed their biography project and Robert and I got to go to the “wax museum” to see all of the historical figures! Samantha chose Anne Frank and I think she looked just perfect!

All of the students were around the auditorium and you had to push their button to make them talk! They then gave you their prepared speech all about the life of their chosen historical figure. Samantha did an excellent job speaking as Anne Frank! I was so proud of her!

She got to give the speech lots of time to anyone that stopped by…she did great each time!
