Okay, so it's hard to believe that I have a 4th grader now. While kindergarten seems like a little while ago, first grade seems sorta recent. (SIGH)So, when asked about what her favorite thing about third grade was she said she liked jump roping during recess with her friend Priya. She also liked playing soccer and the kickball tournament. Her favorite subject is spelling (a natural, no need to study subject for her).
The move here to California and the switch of schools was very hard for Caitlin. I can't underline very enough. It has taken time to adjust but, she did (is doing) it! We are proud of her! I am really praying for a great teacher next year, one that can help her continue to adjust and realize her potential.
Highlights of her school year were the 3rd grade play about Tall Tale Heroes, her field trip to a Victorian mansion, the Art 'n Sole Walk-a-thon. She studied Victorian times in social studies and made an adorable journal in which she was a fictional girl in the Victorian times. She self-taught herself cursive in 2nd grade so she was very happy when that was finally covered and she could write her assignments in cursive. Math focused on division, multiplication and fractions. She learned about the solar system. She did her first science fair project and wrote a book. I think writing and illustrating her book showed off some of her talents and she had a great time completing that project.
She continues to take piano lessons and has recently decided not to continue on the swim team. She wants to try some team sports and take some art lessons. So, I guess we'll try to figure this all out. Every Wednesday she had activity days at church, she loves that... but, she is a socialite. :-)
