5th Grade Promotion

On Friday AJ had his 5th grade promotion ceremony. They gave out promotion certificates and also some awards. AJ got an award for getting straight A's for the whole school year. We were very proud of him, especially since we are the type of parents that don't help with homework often. He truly earned the grades himself.

Here is AJ with his teacher, Mrs. Thompson. AJ has had her two years in a row. The first year he was in a combination 4th/5th grade class. I think AJ liked that because it allowed him to be exposed to different things. And because he was in a 5th grade classroom, he also got to go on some cool field trips that other fourth graders didn't. Mrs. Thompson has been a great teacher for the past two years and we will miss her. AJ is ready for middle school and looking forward to it.
