5th Grade Promotion

What a year Emmy has had! She met a new great friend, kept close to her old ones, started a gymnastics team, had. REALLY hard and strict teacher and ended the year teaching herself the last few lessons of math. She is so smart, dictated, conscience, determined and focused - she even inspired me! She kept track of her own assignments and gave everyone her best, she learned everything (basically on her own) and wouldn't move on until she perfected it and got 100% on more than 1 math test with no help from anyone. I am so unbelievably proud of her - she rocked 5th grade and I can't wait to see what the future holds for her!

Normally Spreckels has a series of activities to celebrate the 5th grades, none of which happened this year. It was definitely little sad but she sure made the best of it and has been so mature understanding the seriousness of the situation and the responsibility we have to not only keep our family safe, both those around us.

We went to school to pick up her promotion certificate. 

She received the presidential award for education excellence!

Last day of school!

 All dressed up for her virtual promotion 

Even Sadie was able to attend. Ha!

Now THAT is the look of a middle schooler (insert eye roll)

We headed over to the Conklins to celebrate. We went over there to meet Riley (and reconnect with Todd since we last saw him in the dorms 10 years ago!) a week before the girls started kindergarten (sniff, sniff)

Celebrating them all! Ryan and Reese made it through 2nd grade, virtually (they were in the same class) and Rowan kindergarten 

Owen - always stealing the show

We rounded out the celebrations with a pool party at the DeWinter's pool. It was a fun few days and unfortunately, we haven't seen any of them since (boo). Hopefully we can spend more time with them  all outdoors again soon. 

The fearless foursome - Audrey, Emmy, Riley and Luci

The middle sibling boys :)
