Thursday, we had track and field day.
Friday started out with a KickBall Tournament(the height of excitement)
Yulia's 5th grade class tied for 1st place! Basically, the teachers and coaches got tired of the kid's continual tying up the game and called a truce.
After the big win(uh, tie), we celebrated with the end of school party. Yulia's WONDERFUL teacher is at the very back. Yulia is up front on the right with an attitude.
Although Yulia made the "A" honor roll and graduated from 5th grade, we've made the decision to repeat the 5th. While she's done very well, she still has a lot of trouble with basic reading, writing and math. She's going to summer school 4 days a week. In the fall, she'll go to the school where she should have been attending all along. It's closer and she'll be able to ride the bus. And the fact that it's a new school is exciting to her. Plus, she won't see the 4th graders from her old school going into the 5th at her old school. She'll be in a new environment. Another plus, many of the girls at church who'll be in 5th next year go to the new school. It was a hard decision for us holding her back, but everyone who's adopted said repeating the 5th was the best thing they've ever done.
Now to more important things, Yulia has selected "High School Musical" for the theme of her 11th birthday coming up June 14th. It was a tough decision between HS Musical and Hannah Montana, but HSM won out. More to come on the big party, I'm sure.
