Ruby Pearl in the snow (random)
This lady did some research for Career Day and created a poster about her chosen career and brought props to school for the presentations that parents could attend! She did great! She remains confident on wanting to be a pediatrician to help kiddos. She'll be great!
To celebrate her amazing presentation for Career Day, we headed to DQ for afternoon ice cream!
Ruby got into the Valentine's spirit!
Ella's classroom valentine's this year!!I think they turned out so cute! I think this might be the last year of classroom exchanges (I'm not crying, you're crying!) SO SAD!
Our letterboard messages are still going strong....
At Ella's insistence, we did the annual Valentine's Scavenger hunt! She didn't have school on Valentine's Day this year (I think it was a staff development day) so we didn't have to have the hunt at 6 a.m. which was nice!
Jay made Ruby's morning extra special!
Ella and I went out for a girls date to Dunkin' Donuts!
And she made me this sweet Valentine. She's so sweet!
It was the MVES Musical this month too! Ella was a French Lady in this year's musical JOUST!
One of her BFFs Julia was also in the musical along with her friend Leah. Not to be left out, her other BFF Emily came to the show so we got them all together after the performance! These girls are so great! Hopefully their friendships continue to remain strong!
First dance competition of the year....First Place in High Kick with the highest score ever received by a Farmington team (whoo hoo!) [Note, that I was so excited I totally forgot to take a picture of Ella with her winning ribbon, but we did get a group shot!]
Her hip hop team also performed, and did great, but they didn't place. A little bit of a bummer, but you can't place every time!!
The very next weekend was the second dance competition in Sauk Rapids!
Her high kick team placed 3rd and hip hop didn't place
We feel lucky to have gotten these dance competitions in before the pandemic hit!
Another end of February event was African Drumming at MVES!
Ella really enjoyed it and the entire 5th Grade did a performance for parents and it was so cool!
Heading into March twinning!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!
