I decided to do a quick blog post about Caitie's school stuff since it's been a while. I might do a more detailed one in the future, when I find the time and I can get to all my pics. I can get to a few pics, but most of them are on a drive that needs fixin', so I'm limited on what I can post right now.
Caitie takes after me as far as her eyes and skin tone, and she has her daddy's long and lean look, with some smarts thrown in, but she's far above us as far as academics go... She made straight A's all through her elementary school years. She was on the Principal's Honor Roll year after year. She was in an advanced reading class called Sage, which gave her the opportunity to go to a place called Astrocamp that's located in southern California. She went there twice, once in 5th grade and again in 6th grade, and loved it both times; the trip lasted three days each time. There was ziplining, a sky coaster, hiking, space night with telescopes, space build in a pool, and a lot of neat space type experiments, etc. She went on another three-day trip to Big Sur California with the 6th grade class back in September 2017. They spent a lot of time at the beach and did all kinds of fun things on that trip. She also went on a day trip to the Grand Canyon in the 4th grade, and went on a lot of neat local field trips in her other classes through the years. She was in clubs, and ran for Historian of the 6th grade class; she didn't win, but it was a fun, learning experience for her. She had a great elementary school experience.She's in the 7th grade this year, at a new school, of which she is in three advanced classes: Reading, Science, and Social Studies. She's in a coding club after school. Michael and I haven't a clue what she's learning in school anymore due to her homework looking like a foreign language to us. This is the last week of the first quarter, and I just checked her grades online... she made all A's this quarter. So yes, she's the brains of this family, and we wouldn't have it any other way. :)
