Michael had a great 6th grade year this year. He was involved in scouts at church- here he is conducting a meeting so that he can get his communications badge.
He and I go running sometimes. We did a 3k at the school in the fall, it was a neon color run, they gave us glow sticks and we ran. He's fun to run with and he likes to make funny faces at the end. He took a parkour class at Flips gymnastics. In that class, they make obstacle courses out of the mats and then try to see how fast they can jump over and run through the mats.
He also did percussion. He mostly played the marimba, but there were several other drums and instruments that he got to play at different concerts. I don't think he ever got to play the triangle. ;)
Over the course of the year, he got straight A's all year. He also got good citizenship all year. He was awarded a principal award. That award is given to two students (one boy and one girl) from each class who were exemplary in grades, citizenship and all around likeable.
Here he is on the first day of kindergarten and the last day of school. I took the picture after school, and he had just run through a serious rain storm so he's pretty wet. Now he's on to the Junior High, it's really quite unbelievable.
