5th grade awards

Last night we went to Avery's academic awards program. They also sang and square danced, and had an art show. We got some video of Avery during the singing part that's pretty funny. Not AFV funny, but funny to Keith and I. He was so bored. He was yawning, and looking around the whole time. He was totally not into it. Singing just isn't his thing. (he says he was looking for his friend that didn't show up, but we think he was looking at someone else!!) He was a little more into the square dancing, which is odd because earlier he told us he didn't want to go because of the dancing. I think they all just got into it and had fun. (there might be another reason, but he won't admit it!) Anyway, we enjoyed looking at his art, and his (first place) science project. The highlight of the evening was the academic awards. Avery didn't know what he was getting, and we didn't either, but he was really hoping for the Art Award. They give out two for the whole fifth grade. He did receive the Art Award, along with one for Academic Excellence (honor roll for the whole year). He also had the highest average of any boy in the fifth grade in both science and social studies. He said he was a little embarassed by it all, but you could tell he enjoyed it. We had a great evening, and ended it with a little reward from Sonic. We're so proud of Avery and all his accomplishments! I can't believe that he's going to be in middle school next year! Thankfully, Avery's very excited about it, which makes me more excited as well.
