Jeremiah's research presentation

The last unit for Jeremiah's Kindergarten year covered space. His teacher had him do a special research project on the solar system. The week before his presentation he came home in a slight panic that they were not making the progress they needed to on his presentation so we did a little research at home. (The biggest challenge was zoning him in on 2-3 facts about each planet to share because he wanted to share so many different things.) His teacher helped him build a powerpoint with his facts and add pictures of the sun and all the planets. On Monday, May 13, he gave the presentation on the classroom smart board!

The next day his class rook a field trip to the local planetarum for two shows. Daddy was able to get away from the hospital for a bit to join the class on the field trip. He labeled this as the best part of his week.

Jeremiah has also had his fair share of fundraising experience lately. His school had a special walk on May 15 and the kids had to get pledges for the local track renovation project and special school assemblies. He did a great job approaching people and making calls. He also found himself on the flip side of fundraising last week when a church youth group rang our doorbell and offered to let someone in our house break an egg on someone's head for whatever someone might want to give. Jeremiah was willing to give $2 and mom and dad supplemented it with a few more dollars. He enjoyed picking someone in the group randomly.

His school year is wrapping up this week with a special pajama reading day the class earned for reading over 500 books in the past month, a movie day and then report cards. Where did the school year go?
