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!

Be my Valentine...

I was helping out in Cody's class for Valentine's Day yesterday. It is so cute to see how excited the kids are to share their Valentine's with one another. Of course a lot of the excitement has to do with the candy that usually comes with it. As the class was listening to the story of Valentine's Day that was being read by the teacher, a little girl came over from the other classroom to ask if Cody was there. I told her yes and she proceeded to give me a Valentine for him. When I realized who it was (it happened to be a girl he has talked about), I quickly said hi and told her I am Cody's mom. She said hi back and said nice to meet you

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!

Proud Parents

Last night we had a goal conference for Connor. We are so proud of him. He is doing wonderful in school and has had a lot of scores of 100% and above! His test scores are wonderful. He is scoring very high and is at the top of his class. He is also in GATE (Gifted And Talented Education) again this year for math and science. We are so proud!
