Some photos - June 2009





All of the end of the year activities were a lot of fun I'll spend a few minutes posting some recent photos.

These first photos are from the end of April. (yes, that is how long they have been stuck inside my camera).

The girls' elementary school has an annual outdoor called Tana-kee-kee. All grades participate in it and it becomes a great tradition that they all look forward to.

Different grades are assigned roles and projects that teach the other grades about life and history of Florida.

Kindergarten = Florida wildlife. (they have to make a puppet of animals found in Florida)

1st grade - Citrus growers. (they sing a song about the goodness of citrus and have games like 'grapefruit bowling' for the other grades to play).

2nd grade - Ranchers - (they dress like cowboys and sing around a pretend campfire).

3rd grade - Pioneers - (they dress like pilgrims and host a trading post. they sing songs)

4th grade - Seminoles - (they create miniture thatch huts and villages and sing songs while doing rain dances.)

5th grade - Military - (they have army tents and games inside the tents to show the younger ones what it is like to live outdoors.)

This year, Olivia was a pioneer. (pictured with Bryan) and Oliva was a Citrus grower (with me).

I was unable to go to both days... Bryan had to fill in.
