School Shopping!
It's a tradition! The kids both set up their school supplies from their class lists the night before the first day of school.
We should have stocked up on the Clorox wipes had we known what was to come. 😂
Getting ready like this the night before school fades pretty quickly but I love the enthusiasm and excitement in the early days of a new school year.
I also bring back out the reward chart which also fades pretty quickly. 🤣
Their final year together at Peabody!
We got Mrs. Craviotto for a second year in a row when she surprised us with moving from 3rd to 4th grade for the 2019/2020 school year! I like to think she did this to keep tabs on Thatcher. 🤣
Thatcher's buddies! New shoe game is strong with these three!
Sam's buddies!
Always keeping tabs on this kid. 🤣
Samantha had Mrs. Rodriguez which means Fletcher the therapy dog is also in your class. Major score!
Thatcher's turn for the 4th grade overnight trip on the Tall Ship!
See ya tomorrow morning buddy!
Lollipop was excited for pick-up!
Here they come!
I'm sure Night Watch WAS boring! (and cold!)
I love the reading logs and Thatcher's genre of books he chooses.
Comics count too!
The prep for junior high began on day one of 6th grade. Lot's of research reports 🤪
Pizza ovens!
6th grade garden harvesting!
Thatcher's beautiful cursive he brings out once in a while.
Weekly notes from 6th grade.
This is a tradition at Peabody and I've saved every letter and doing the same for Thatcher now. I've got some gems!
The brainstorm before Sam's timeline below.
It's funny to see what good vs. bad is to a tween.
Nice song choice!
The start of the 6th grade masks!
sigh.
Sam's reading group read To Kill a Mocking Bird.
Sam's notebooks include so many goal-orientated lists. Proud that I have passed this on to her. 😊
Mrs. Craviotto's "Wow" at the top of the page. 🤣
Sweet notes from Sam's little buddy.
Sam's draft of The Negative Impact of Social Media is something I need to reference each time she asks me for a social media account. 😜
While she has a few things to work out grammatically, it is clear that Samantha has a strong negative opinion towards social media. Somehow she has forgotten about this amazing paper she wrote now as a 14-year-old. 🤣
Still dealt with some of this in 4th grade...
Daily journal writing on a topic was not Thatcher's favorite.
I'm pretty sure the page was supposed to be filled with words not drawings.
Sam showing off her report card. 🎉
Sam self-assessed herself.
Straight Rs from herself.
Straight Rs from her teacher.
AND straight As 🎉
Thatcher Straight Rs too!
And almost straight 3s PLUS that reading assessment was recorded wrong so I'll take the extra 21 points she wrote in 🎉😊
