As we get further into the month of May, slowly but surely our weeks are becoming less busy! Yeah!! This week the kids completed another year of Awana - the fourth year for both kids! We were very proud of Faith for completing her entire book! In Sparks (Shane's current level) it is common to complete a book, so I was surprised to learn at the awards ceremony that only Faith and one other third grader finished the first TNT book!
Yesterday was our final day of our co-op Better Together. We ended the year with a shortened class schedule, followed by an open house and BBQ! As part of the open house, three of the classes made presentations. Faith was the one student in the entire co-op who was in all three presentations as all of her classes did something! For her, this meant three (well, technically four!) costume changes!! In the picture above her Shakespeare class is performing a scene from Romeo and Juliet! Faith played two characters - Potpan and Lord Capulet!
After the scene from Shakespeare, Faith's country dancing class showed us three dances they learned throughout the year! It was very cute and well done!
The final performance was a wax museum containing historical characters from the middle ages, as that was the time period the class studied this year. Faith is portraying Theodora, the most powerful empress from the Byzantine Empire!
Some of the kids also sang one of the songs that they learned in chapel this year! Of course Olivia had to be a part of that!
We celebrated a fun, successful, educational year of Better Together with a BBQ! Olivia loved eating with the big girls!
Even though this post is about activities coming to an end, I have to mention something that is just starting for Shane! Piano lessons!! Throughout the summer he is going to have 15 minute lessons after Faith's lesson. Once the school year starts again he will begin a full half hour lesson. He is pretty excited, as you can see by him practicing before 8am! That wont last for long!
