Good gracious it has been over a two months since I last posted. Between end of the school year goings on (Jasmine's and mine) and summer vacation time has sure flown. Jasmine finished the 3rd grade the end of May on the honor roll. She will be starting a new school next year. She has decided she wants to do more things like her older cousin, and unfortuneatly, that can't happen at the school she has been attending. She is very excited to be in the same school as her cousins, with the prospects of sports in just 2 more years. In our school district we have school choice and in our "sub-zone" of the district there are 9 elementary schools that you rank and maybe you will get a top choice school. Lucky for us Jasmine got her 1st choice school, which is elementary and middle and a magnet school for the arts. She will have alot of opportunities that she couldn't get in a class of 5 (both 3rd and 4th graders).
We spent almost 2 weeks on vacation in Pennsylvania. We visited Gettysburg battlefield and Independence Hall in Philadelphia. We all enjoy history and it is a subject that is not dealt with in our schools alot, so as parents we have to be sure and teach the history of our country to Jasmine. I am a firm believer in the saying "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
This week is a quiet one for me Jasmine is at day camp at our local hands on science museum. It is her favorite subject and one of her favorite places to visit.
More later.
