Writer, Artist, Director, Voice Talent

Here's a little gem that Marco created in computer class.  They illustrated on screen, wrote a script and voiced it.

Besides being pretty cute, I'm pretty impressed with the school.  :)

Aloha Bunnies

As part of our adjustment to vacationing on the school's schedule instead of our own, we packed up for a Spring Break trip to Maui. The Romioses scheduled for the same time and we were set for an Easter in paradise.

After all, who doesn't want to hunt for Easter eggs in their bathing suits, swim all day and play baseball on the beach?

Kinder Days

Christmas flew by, Easter break was a blur, Spring program was sung and we suddenly realized that Marco will finish kindergarten soon.

Waking up this morning...

Him:  "Does first grade start today?"
Me:  "You need to behave in class or maybe they won't let you in the first grade."
Him:  "Why?  I can already read!"
Sigh.

Marco continues to be praised for his academics, however, his attention to detail is slightly lacking.  His kinder blues' pain points seem to be centered around making the other boys laugh, not listening and back talk.

Our most challenging note home was that Marco got his card flipped for saying that "the book from story time was stupid and I wish I'd given up school for Lent."

Challenge:  Do not laugh.

The Score

The Warriors were tragically ejected from basketball playoffs, but Marco, Nolan and Malcolm are just starting their season, downtown at the Y.

The program is amazing.  Basketball is Marco's "first favorite sport," so he was bursting with excitement to try out his favorite game.  He respected the coaches (who aren't a friend's parent,) drank in the dribbling drills, and tackled the game with gusto scoring the points -- all two of them.

Slam dunk on a great local find.  And here's the proof:

 

Cinco De Mayo

I literally peeled up, parked in church parking and made it JUST in time to see possibly the cutest kindergarten presentation so far.

They sang two songs in Spanish, recited a poem including Marco's now infamous line "Low rider car shows are also a favorite," and performed a Mexican hat dance.  But not just any dance, a girl/boy dance!  I nearly cried.

His partner is here on his left, but he really has his eye on the girl on his right.  Shhh.
