Summer is here!!!

We finally finished the school year...YEAH!!! We are looking forward to a busy summer, but not close to the craziness of the school year.

Erin - She graduted from kindergarten and is now Erin Chavez - 1st Grader. She is sad to leave her teacher, Mrs. Key, but excited to go to Mrs. Tyson's class. She did a great job reading at the end of school and we have a project to read a lot during the summer. Erin has gymnastics and swimming as her other things to do this summer. We were really proud of Erin and her first year of school. She is getting really big.

Emily - She had one last project at the end of school. She went on a couple of field trips to different areas in Temple and created a powerpoint presentation the city council came to see. She did a great job with her partners discussing why Temple is a good place to visit. Emily has a busy summer planned. She is going to the University of Texas soccer camp next week (9am-3pm). She had a great time 2 years ago when she went and was excited to go this year. They will spend about 30-45 minutes at one of the UT pools to cool down during camp. Em is really excited about the pool. Emily is also going to be taking gymnastics and swimming will be a top priority. Emily, Elizabeth, and Dad have planned to read the latest Harry Potter book together this summer as well.

Elizabeth - E finished the year with a bang. She made one of the jazz bands she tried out for (Mustang Jazz Band) and made the symphonic band. They only took the top couple of kids for Jazz and top few for the symphonic. She is considering taking up the saxophone for Jazz band and clarinet or saxophone for symphonic. E has a very busy summer planned as well. She has cheerleader camp the last week of June. She is really looking forward to going and getting into it. E is going to be involved in gymnastics, swimming, and playing the occasional tune for Mom & Dad.

Melinda finished the year needing some R&R. Unfortunately, she is not going to get too much with all the activities planned. She is staying in 4th grade next year, but may get to use her Math Specialist role in addition. She would down play the compliment, but she is as good as it can get. Hopefully, she is looking forward to a lot of swimming this summer too.
