FALL FESTIVAL...

FALL FESTIVAL WAS LAST FRIDAY 10-27-06...FALL FESTIVAL IS THE SAME THING AS A HALLOWEEN PARTY...THE SCHOOL DOES NOT WANT TO RECOGNIZE IT AS HALLOWEEN SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY KIDS WITH DIFFERENT BELIEFS...THE KIDS DRESS UP IN THEIR NON-SCARY COSTUMES AND GO FROM BOOTHS TO BOOTHS WITH THEIR TICKETS THAT THEY HAVE EARNED IN SCHOOL....THEY PLAY GAMES AND EVERYONE WINS A PRIZE...IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY, THE SKIES WERE CLEAR AND THE DAY WAS BREEZY...MADISON DRESSED UP AS PADIME, CAMERON AS DARTH VADER, AND CADEN AS ANAKIN...YOU KNOW THE IRVINES AWAYS DRESS WITH A THEME...AS YOU CAN SEE CADEN IS NOT IN THE PICTURE SINCE HE IS IN PRE K3 THEY WENT AT A DIFFERENT TIME...I'LL POST SOME OTHER PICTURE FROM HALLOWEEN AND YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE EVERYONE!

YOU WILL BE MISSED!

ONE DOWN THREE TO GO....

MADISON GOT HER REPORT CARD TODAY...ONE 9 WEEKS DOWN AND THREE TO GO...I AM SO PROUD OF HER...SHE IS DOING REALLY WELL...SHE GOT 100% IN SPELLING, YOU WOULDN'T THINK SO IF YOU READ SOME OF HER NOTES...BUT WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO SPELLING TEST SHE ALWAYS MANAGES TO PULL 100%..SHE IS AT CLASS LEVEL 2.2 (2 GRADE, 2 MONTH) IN SCIENCE, SOCIAL STUDIES, MATH, AND LANGUAGE ART...THE ONLY THING SHE KEEPS STUGGLING WITH IS READING...SHE IS AT A 2.0 GRADE LEVEL...THAT MEANS SHE'S ONLY BEHIND 2 MONTH INSTEAD OF THE 6 MONTHS SHE WAS IN MAY!!!CUKES, I'M SO PROUD OF YOU! I CAN'T BELEIVE HOW GREAT YOU ARE DOING IN THE SECOND! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
