Mackenzie completed the Sequoyah Reading Challenge, so she got to attend a special lunch and book signing with author Steve Sheinkin. She was SO excited about this! She is a very good reader and we are very proud of her.
OCS also had a Middle School Preview night that we went to. I can't even wrap my mind around her being in Middle School next year. Mackenzie was extremely excited that she won a drawing to pick out her locker for next year. Of course she picked the locker right by the water fountain, where she would be able to talk to everyone! That girl makes me laugh! About a month after this happened, we made the decision that we are going to change schools next year. Many tears have been shed over this locker by the water fountain that she will never get to have. It makes me sad for Mackenzie, looking through these pictures. If I would have known that we weren't going to be at OCS next year, I wouldn't have taken her to this preview night. =0(
They served pizza for the 5th graders and their families at the preview night, and then we got to look around the classrooms, meet teachers and go to the basketball game in the gym. There was a LOT of activity going on and I was READY to go home by the time it was over! This was when Brian was in Latvia, so I was flying solo with the kids.
Some of Mackenzie's sweet friends.
This is how I feel about her being old enough for Middle School....Noooooo!!!!! But just look how happy she is about it! =0)))
They got to sit in the 8th grade History teachers class for a few minutes.
Waiting to see who would win the drawings!
Ohhhh, the locker...
A fun little worksheet she must have done right when they went back to school after Christmas break!
