5th Grade Trip 2016

Cody's 5th grade class had the opportunity to take a trip to Eagle Bluff February 29-March 2, 2016. It was the first time that Gibbs Elementary has offered this kind of opportunity for 5th graders. The trip gave the students an opportunity to work together and learn some life lessons along the way.

I decided that it would be a good experience for me to be a chaperon on the trip. The trip was filled with activities from breakfast time to "lights out" at 10 pm. Needless to say, the trip was exhausting, but I also learned a lot. It was fun to see the students do things that were at times out of their comfort zone. I also learned that it can be challenging to work with so many different kids who have different personalities and attitudes. God Bless teachers!

I am glad that was there to witness my son's experience and am proud at what he accomplished on the trip including a high ropes course that ended in a zip line. Way to go Cody!

Cody's first bus ride to school.

On Friday I did not have to work so it was Cody's first day to ride the bus to school. He gets to ride the bus home with Connor. Things went great, and he enjoyed riding the bus. It was fun to ride home with his brother. I am so proud of them!

First Day of School 2018

School started a week earlier this year which was a bit of a change. We survived the first week and things went smoothly. Of course as a mom I always wants a first day of school picture. Connor isn't especially thrilled to have his picture taken, but did pose for a quick one. Of course his smile is a bit cheesy because he wasn't happy about the photo, but I guess I at least got one. I am proud of my boys and am so blessed. With the first week of school already came the reality of ordering a cap and gown for Connor's graduation. I am going to enjoy every moment of this year. Cody's birthday is coming in two days and he will be 14! Again, how can this be?? They are turning into such nice young men. That is my goal. Raise them to be good people, to be kind, caring and have manners and of course who respect. I think we are ready for the 2nd week of school.

Uh oh!

Well, I was hoping this day wouldn't come this early, but today I received a call from school. Mr. Goetz, the school administrator, told me that he had Cody in his office along with another boy from Cody's class. Apparently, Cody's teacher asked Mr. Goetz to talk to the boys regarding their behavior. They had been shoving and hitting each other so the teacher decided they should be taken aside to make sure they know the rules. We will see what Cody's take is on this when we talk to him about it this evening...stay tuned.
