On May 18th, the 5th grade band and middle band and chorus held a spring concert. The day before, the 4th grade played the recorders and the 5th grade band and middle school band and chorus held a concert for all of the elementary school and the middle school students. Parents were welcome to come and watch the daytime performance.
Here is my little percussion player.
The actual Spring Concert on the 18th.
On May 25th, the 5th grade held their annual hobby show. It's been going on for years and even when Jerry was in 5th grade. It's more of a collection show. They had to write speeches about their hobby/collection and they spoke in front of all of the other kids and parents/grandparents. It was so cute!
Ashton did his on Transformers. Here is part of his collection all set up.
Getting ready for his turn
The kids all did a great job! It was so cute!
Later that day, Ashton celebrated his birthday at school.
His birthday is in July, but the summer birthday kids get to celebrate in May. He wanted a giant chocolate chip cookie cake, but the bakery I went to doesn't make them anymore.
So, I saw these adorable "cookie monsters." I knew he would love them. I ordered 20 and they put them in a big box for me. I paid and took them out to my car.
As I was picking the box up to put it in the car, the bottom FELL out and the cookies fell into a heap on the parking lot! I about died! But, I had had a great morning, so I just realized it is what it is. I didn't cry or cuss, so I was proud of myself.
I went back in and explained what had happened. They made me more and didn't charge me!! That was so sweet! What wonderful customer service that grocery store gives.
Ashton was thrilled and the class loved them! I took them to the classroom so I could take a picture since it was his last birthday celebration ever.
