This has been a busy month for us. Most of our activities are finishing up for the school year, and we are looking forward to a relaxing (NOT!!!) summer.

Kacee finished up her first few months of school. She still enjoys riding the bus everyday and has learned a lot. In less than 2 months, she knows how to count to 10 and identify the written numbers. She knows all of the colors. She can recite and identify all of the letters of the alphabet. She knows several shapes and has learned many new songs.

Kylie has done remarkably well in her first year of public school. She was moved to Honors classes in January and has maintained a straight A average all year. She did extremely well on the Texas standardized test, TAKS. As a matter of fact, she is one of a few sixth grade students who will be starting Algebra I next year in seventh grade (instead of ninth grade). She auditioned for the highest band in middle school, Honor Band, and made it into the group. Kylie was selected for an end of year band award and language arts award for doing so well in those subjects. Her grade had a field day, and Kylie came in first in the 800 m race; her PE teacher wants her on the track team next year. Kylie will go to yo-yo camp, church camp, and nature camp this summer.

Kayla has also done great this year. It is very hard entering high school (10th grade) without ever having been to school. She was inducted into the National Honor Society for having such a high GPA. She is a very active member of the Student Council and participates in several UIL events. Kayla was awarded the Spanish I and Theatre I awards for doing so well in those classes this year. Kayla now has her learner's permit and is driving around the neighborhood. This summer she will turn "16", go to church camp and Camp Electric in Nashville. Oh yeah, she also has a boyfriend, Adam.
