On May 25th, the boys had their 5th grade graduation program. It's a big deal at their school complete with caps and gowns, a separate location, and lots of recognition.
D loves bow ties. Not sure where that comes from but he is passionate about them! N - not so crazy about ties or bow ties!
The boys loved their teachers this year and they were an awesome team! This is Mrs. Ray, math teacher. The boys both love math and loved her class!
This is Mrs. Lesan, the English Language Arts teacher. She taught the boys so much about writing and about enjoying reading. She has a gentle spirit and the boys responded so well to her.
This is Mrs. McClure. She supervises the boys doing their morning safety patrol. They open the doors of the cars as the parents drop off the students. Mrs. McClure has loved my boys since their first day in school. She has always paid them attention and petted them! They absolutely LOVE Mrs. McClure!!
