Happy Birthday Haley!

Haley had her birthday party at Embassy Suites Hotel. It was super fun to go swimming and everything!

Super Bowl

Haley came over for the Super Bowl and we took some pics.

Mr Thomas

This is my science teacher.  He is apparently Scotish or something so for "Dress Your Best Day" he wore a man skirt (kilt) and a man purse on a belt with a matching hat.  He let us take pictures with our phones as long as we tell him it is a calculator that can take pictures.  My friend took these pictures for me because I'm not in this core... I wish I was though:)

 Emily, Alexa, Callie, Mr. Thomas, Maya and Sarah

Pictures from the Last Day of School

These are some pictures of me some of my friends on the last day of school.  Sorry that all the pictures are so small.  If I tried to make them bigger they got all blurry.

 Maja, Sarah, Emily, Holly and Callie

 This is a picture my friend Alexa took with all of our feet in it.  She edited it so that our names and the colors of our shoes were there.

 Skylar is moving this summer so she was going around hugging everyone:)

 Me and Holly

 Me and Holly again:)

 Here we are another time:):):)

My favorite teacher Mrs Houghton retired this year so everyone wrote a little note to her on her whiteboard.

A Visit to Scholls Heights

This morning we went to Scholls Heights to visit some of our old teachers.  It was fun to see old faces:)

Field Day

The Friday before school ended, we had Field Day. At school, Field Day is the event that kids look forward to the whole school yaer. It is when the P.E. teacher and the tech teacher set up a bunch of outdoor and indoor games. At different times, two or more grades go out and play the games. You get 1 token for each game you play. With the tokens, you can buy snacks.

For three hours, I volunteered to help run the games. It was very long. But at the end of the day, it was finally time for the fifth graders to have fun.

Emily and her friend Keihanna.
