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!

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.

Here I am again.  This time I really need to keep up with this.  I am writing this with a son in his junior year of high school and a son in 7th grade.  With each school year I have more emotions.  As each year passes I am more aware of how fast time is going as well as how the time with my boys is getting shorter. Cody loves to sing and has performed at Pure Rock Studios and also sang the National Anthem this summer at a soccer game.  I am proud of his willingness to perform in front of an audience even thought it can be nerve wracking and intimidating. Connor is now a licensed driver and has a girlfriend.  Her name is Riley.  I really like his girlfriend.  It is hard to believe he only has two years of high school left.  I think I am in denial.  This year we will probably take a look at colleges.  It is still so hard to believe. Both boys are still playing hockey.  Cody is still playing goalie and loves it.  His co...
