Emma was so excited to be nominated as a rookie safety patrol. One student from each fourth grade class was chosen to be a safety patrol in training and she was the lucky one in her class. Next year she will start the year out in fifth grade and help train the newbies. We are so proud of her!The kids each got a new fishie this week. Emma decided that she wanted a fish last week, so she used her own money to buy her fish. She got two...Shark Bait and Guppy. Then, the boys wanted one of course! Logan got his and named it Traffic Light (don't ask me?!). Owen did get one, but I don't have any pictures of it yet. He was a big spender and bought a 12 cent fish! That boy likes to save his money!! So far...all of the fish have survived! It's been a week and we haven't had any casualties. I keep reminding the kids not to get too attached.
Owen had another baseball game. He is doing fine, but is becoming very discouraged. He hasn't had a hit the past two games and is very upset about it. We're going to keep practicing and encouraging him. It's so hard to watch your child want something so badly and not be able to help them. Hopefully he'll have more luck next game.
