The End

It is sadly the end of elementary school for McKell. Her last day was packed full. Our school always does fun things to celebrate the outgoing 5th graders. First up they had a graduation ceremony - complete with paper hats. Each student got to tell their favorite elementary school memory and what they want to be when they grow up. McKell's favorite memory was when Mrs. Eames (her 4th grade teacher) would play funny music in class. McKell loved Mrs. Eames and still says that she is her favorite teacher ever. When she grows up she wants to be a dancer, surprise, surprise:)

Her and some friends danced in the 5th grade talent show. They choreographed the dance and picked the music and it was super cute. They did such a good job.

Not only did she dance for the talent show but she got to be one of the announcers. There were 2 boys and 2 girls in the 5th grade that got to do funny skits/introductions and announce the order of the show. McKell and Cambrie planned carefully, practiced hard, and thought of really funny stuff. They had to do a try out in front of their class and then the top students from each class tried out in front of a teacher. These 2 were super excited when they were chosen. It is for sure something that she will always remember from elementary school. And I am so glad she is not hesitant to be a little silly in front of people.

She has had such a great time in elementary school, but she is soooo ready to go to middle school. It is hard not to be excited for her, but I will miss going to school with her every day and looking for her on the playground. It will be different next year when I still go to teach at the elementary and she is at a different school. McKell has made tons of fun friends. Above, her and Meg eating popsicles.

And again some more posing with boys - sooo not ready for that. However, I sure do love the boys her age that I have taught over the past few years. They are super cute.
