Andrew loves middle school. He passed all of his benchmarks and got to go to the movies in Beeville with the other 6th-8th graders who also passed. He enjoyed the trip with good friends and enjoyed a large popcorn and coke. He is doing really well in choir and I have to say, he sings really well. I wish he would share his voice more.
Anna has been the class police officer for the past nine weeks and she gave out tickets to rule violators. She also has to be the first person to arrive at 7:30 AM in class every morning because she gets to be the teacher for 30 minutes. She is a character. Anna had a 100 average in Science the first nine weeks and was the only third grader to make that grade.
Alan is getting ready for basketball which practice started last week and his first game is next Tuesday. He will also coach softball in the Spring.
I have been adjusting to teaching all levels again. I love my choirs at the middle school and high school. Theatre Arts can be fun some days. I love teaching Anna's grade this year.
Last Saturday, we went to Helena TX which is only six miles up the road, to a festival they have once a year. There was BBQ, museum, Dutch oven demo, a shoot out and a confederate camp with soldiers. It was free and we had fun.
Friday the kids wanted to go Trick or Treating in our neighborhood again. There were cars lined up all the way to the highway and on the highway of people wanted to trick or treat. We snuck out of the house and went on our way and when we came back, we sat outside and Andrew and Anna passed out candy. We were out in less than 30 minutes. We grabbed our chairs, turned off all the lights and went inside.
Then last night we drove 20 miles to Stockdale Church of Christ to their Fall Fun Festival. It was absolutely free and was a great time for the kids.
