James's 2nd Grade Olympic Day 2019

James's school does an Olympic Day. Each classroom represents a country, and this year James's country is Brazil. The kids have an official-looking opening ceremony and then play games at various locations around the outside and inside of the school all day. At the end of the day, they have closing ceremonies. I was especially excited to hear them sing in Spanish during the closing ceremonies.

James's 1st Grade Field Day 2018

On Wednesday, James had his first grade field day. I was so sad seeing all the super sweet kids I've gotten to know over the last two years and thinking that I won't get to see them grow up the same way anymore. I took a million pictures and shared them with their parents. These are just a few of them, mostly of James and some of his friends.
