School

Now that Cameron is in 4th grade, she has the opportunity to join additional clubs and activities that all meet after school until 4 or 4:30 p.m. (In other words, a working parent's logistical nightmare.) She ran for Student Council (didn't win), and now has joined the Yearbook Club and Choir. Choir meets until 4:30 p.m. every Tuesday. I told her the only way she could join was if she found a friend who was also attending and we could ask her friend's mom to pick her up and hang onto her until I get off work at 5 p.m. (A big thank you to Samantha's mom!)

Today she joined the Yearbook Club, which only meets once a month until 4 p.m. I think I can slip that into my work schedule, except for one date in April. The Yearbook club elects officers and Cameron ran for Secretary. When I picked her up a little after 4 p.m. she bounced to the car on cloud 9 - she won! She is now the Secretary of the Yearbook Club. Oh, and she needs to "borrow" the digital camera for all school events. Hm... maybe Santa will bring her one.

This is Cameron's official "Secretary election" hairstyle that she asked for this morning.

Not to be left out, I should mention that Brenna has really been enjoying first grade! Her behavior has really improved!! She is not having the same self-control problems that she had in Kindergarten, which I confess has me comparing the personality differences between the teachers too.

Brenna is finally reading more comfortably and even seems to enjoy her daily journal writing. Let me share two of them with you.

This says "I like science because it is fun. I like the experiment we made." They went to science lab and did a "What sinks? What floats? experiment.
