2016 Piano Recital

The last day of school was particularly busy. I had scheduled our piano recital before the District changed the last day of school. So we went from a busy last day to a quick setup and change for the recital. I'm so proud of all of my students, but particularly the two who live in my house.

Annie did a great first performance with "Middleton's Dance"

And Dayna did a lovely job with the New World Theme, The Spider's Waltz (an original composition) and Minuet in G

I learn every week from these students!

Bravo cards - each child got a stack of cards with compliments from the audience.

Last Day of Elementary School

Seriously - this sweet picture was taken just last week on Dayna's first day of Kindergarten. What happened?

She got a perfect 4.0 GPA in fifth grade...

She met her reading goal every month...

And said goodbye to some great teachers

...and a principal

I can't believe time went so quickly, but I'm so proud of the young lady Dayna has become. I'm also incredibly grateful to the staff and administration of our local public school. They are truly second to none.

Fifth Grade REACH Play

This was Dayna's final year in REACH (a pull-out class for high ability learners.) She really loves drama, and had the perfect role of the fairy godmother. Video included for those who want to watch!

Fifth Grade Track and Field

It was a brutally windy day, so Annie and I didn't last long. Dayna worked hard to learn the hurdles, and run cross country - although the wind made that extremely difficult. I'm proud of her for sticking it out when 2/3 of her classmates didn't even try.
