Today is the first day of school! I think it’s going to be a fantastic year for everyone. Yesterday Maxwell went up and got his locker set up (no pics were taken!) and Spencer and Samantha got to meet their teachers (lots of pics were taken!)

Samantha has a really cute class this year with lots of her besties. Let’s hope they don’t stay in trouble from laughing and chatting too much!

I didn’t get a picture of Spencer with his homeroom teacher (that’s not cool) but I did snag a pic of him with his old 5th grade teacher that moved up to the 6th grade. We’re exited she’s with this crew for another year!

6th grade mixes up the classes so while Spencer’s bestie isn’t in his homeroom, odds are good they’ll have at least one class together!

Of course Samantha had to stop in and say hi to her 2nd grade teacher. They were pretty pleased that their dresses matched!

A great meet and greet and now on to the school year!

School’s out! Summer’s here! Hooray! Last day, best day…

From Maxwell’s last full day last week before exams…

First day, last day!

These kids thrived and did so well this year! I’m so proud of them.

See ya later 7th, 5th and 3rd…it’s summertime!

We made it! The LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!! Maxwell had his final full day last week week and has his final exam today. Spencer and Samantha finish today at 2:00. We did it! Even better? All three kids brought home straight As all year long! Woohoo!

Lots of fun end of year things going on at school the past two weeks…

Samantha completed her animal project on the arctic hare!

We got to go up to school to see all of the animals in their habitats.

Spencer completed his country project and we got to go up and learn all about Boblox! He did an excellent job – so creative!

Last week we got to go to the Junior High for Honors Night. Maxwell was recognized for achieving above the 85% on the National Spanish exam, he earned all A Honor Roll, and he received the Outstanding 7th Grade Spanish student!! Wow wow wow!

With his Spanish teacher, Mrs. Centeno…

It was a great night to see him recognized for all of his hard work at the Junior High.

Super proud of all three of my smarties! Bring on summer!!

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.

Love these cute girls!

Maxwell made an appearance before heading to his Spanish exam!

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!!
