Ellie's 5th grade

Ellie had a great 5th grade.  She was at a new school, Cox Intermediate, which has 5th and 6th grades.  It is just over a mile away, so she got to ride the bus.  She could also ride her bike, but she quickly made friends on the bus and then always wanted to ride the bus.
She was mostly busy with gymnastics.  This was taken at the end of season awards banquest for gymnastics.  Ellie, Raquel, Rachel and Mia Harley. 

For her elective in school, she chose art.  She still wanted to do choir, so she went to choir club which was before school.She got to go to one of the performances as a cat.

5th grade is also the year that the kids get to do a wax museum.  They pick a famous historical person, learn about them, and then dress up like them.  Ellie picked Mary Lou Retton.  She actually stayed in the splits for the whole hour of the wax museum.

She did really well in school, getting straight A's all year.  She enjoyed it for sure!
