This week officially ended the school year. All those geared to grade in January have now essentially graded. Online schooling is still in the works, however, and there will be work to complete. Nevertheless, just like that, my oldest is in middle school. She immediately proceeded to decorate her imaginary first locker ever.
For us, this week was also dedicated to “firsts”. My daughter had her first online school session with her teacher and classmates. It was a success for her and she was a very eager participant fully engaged until the end. Each of us also decided to try a new activity. My son took out his scooter, my daughter grabbed her skateboard and I dug out my rollerblades. It was a lot of fun on wheels, but a balancing act for all!
We celebrated week three down, the weekend, graduation to middle school and all our firsts by baking a chocolate cake. Complete with chocolate frosting, candles and sparklers.
