Another year down!
Today was the last day of school. I attended the awards ceremony... and once again, Joshua won a "math nerd" award... and a reading award given by the University of Kansas. He was not happy, however.
Last year he was the overall winner of the district wide math competition. This year, he won a medal for being in the top 20% of the school district (43 elementary schools) but wasn't the "overall" high scorer. He was soooo disappointed. The high score in his class was 39.... he scored a 36. The high score for the other 4th grade class was 36. I so wish he'd not found that out. He's so hard on himself when he's not "the best." I hope he grows out of it. We are very proud of him.... just the same!
So, 5th grade.... here we come!!! =)
Josh also received an invitation to join the "honors orchestra" next year. He'll practice at 7 AM at the middle school, once a week... and they'll bus him to his elementary school. So, between private music lessons and football practices for him, and dance for Brenna... and my classes at school... we'll... it's going to be a busy year next year!!! =)
