Class end of the year Party

Today the class had nothing but fun. The teacher handed out funny/cute awards followed by an ice cream party.

The Cisco Kid received the honorable Marble Award because he was so marvelous.

He came home with his class t-shirt full of signatures.   The Cisco Kid had the front for just the teachers signatures. The back was designated for his classmates.

 

Another year gone!!!!

FCAT grades are in

The Cisco Kid is one of those children that think he knows everything. If he is shown something once, he thinks there is nothing more he could learn. I constantly tell him that if he thinks he knows everything he will stop learning. This mentality of his showed up at the beginning of the school year and the teacher picked up on it right away. She knew this was going to be a problem with his work. He was starting to get in the habit of rushing through his work and making mistakes. We all knew he was totally capable of achieving high grades. With that said, I derived this plan and totally bribed him into doing what was best for him. I told him if he gets threes on his FCAT test he will have to go to summer school. If he received fours on his FCAT test he could chose three of anything he wants as a gift. If he received fives on his FCAT test he could have a shopping spree at Toys "R" us. When the Chief heard about the shopping spree his jaw dropped and said, if he get fives there will be no stopping him. We will be in trouble. I guess we are lucky he did not get fives. He did get fours and this little boy is reaping in rewards. 

We spent about an hour in Toys "R" us. He picked out a Lego Clock Radio and an electric Razor scooter. His third gift was something he has been wanting for months and I refused to get for him, Converse high top sneakers.

They got back from riding around the neighborhood and the Chief was out of breath. The Razor goes 15 MPH and the Chief had a hard time keeping up on his bike. That is the kind of exercise the doctor ordered for the Chief. I guess it is my turn.

 

Completing the God and Me Religious Emblem for Scouts.

 

The Church was so nice to help us with completing the religious Emblem for Cub Scouts. 

I had prepared all the games for the pastor to use during his class.  First through third grade is God and Me, fourth and fifth grade is God and Family and sixth grade is God and Church.  In one of our Den Meetings we completed all the games and the game box.  The Pastor used the games in his class as a fun way of teaching the boys about their relationship with God.   

I had to retire my Camera

I have had my Canon Power Shot Sx20 for about three years and it has been through the ringer.  I had dropped it a couple of times.  But that was not the problem.  I constantly removed the card so I could download the pictures into my laptop.  Doing this caused the cards to break.  This last time it broke inside the camera and now when I put the card back in the camera it will not snap in.     Now for everyone that knows me, knows that I can’t go a day without my camera.  I went and got a new Canon Rebel T3i and it is amazing.  The pictures are so amazing in every type of setting.
