Chess Picnic

Saturday Lindsey's chess club had a picnic to celebrate the end of school. I don't think Lindsey really liked chess....she quit going to chess club before the year was over. It was REALLY hot at the picnic... so hot that she asked to leave early!

Lindsey's Kindergarten Recognition Program

Today after Lindsey's end of the year program (see below post) they had a recognition ceremony for all that the students had achieved in kindergarten. Lindsey got recognized for completing all the books assigned to her every month of the school year... she got an all star reader certificate. She also got a certificate for being in art club. And then a certificate for completing kindergarten. I cannot believe all that Lindsey has learned this year in kindergarten. She scored very high on the benchmark exams and is already reading on a 2nd grade level. Her teacher was wonderful and really helped her grow. She is more than ready for 1st grade!

Lindsey's Kindergarten End Of The Year Program

Today all 4 kindergarten classes at Lindsey's school did an end of the year program called The "Very Hungry Kindergartner". They went through the months in the school year and explained what they learned all year. Lindsey had two parts in the program. First, she was a pickle when they were talking about what they learned about eating right. Then, she had a speaking roll when they were explaining a life cycle of a chicken. Boy, they learn more than just their ABC's and 123's in kindergarten now!

Mother's Day 2007

This year for mother's day we went to Red Lobster to eat. We went with my mom and dad and my brother and his wife. For the first time this year Lindsey picked out the mother's day presents for Laurie and the grandmothers. She picked out jewelry for all of them.

The Next Tiger Woods?

Laurie, Lindsey, and I went to play put-put golf a few weekends back. Lindsey loves to play this game, but she hadn't played since last summer. She has finally learned to hold the club correctly, but she was upset she didn't get a hole in one while we were there!

Lindsey's Day at the Zoo

Lindsey's kindergarten class went to the zoo a few days ago. Luckily, Laurie took a day off from teaching so she could go with her class. It rained a little on their trip, but the kids still had fun!
