The last day of school, Part II

And now we have a third-grader!

Levynn finished her school year today, and we're very proud to say that she did it with a BANG!

Mom and Dad anticipate straight As again, which would give her straight As for all four terms. But that's not the whole story. She had a rough patch early in the term, across several subjects (we suspect distractions in the classroom), and she had a B in math on her recent progress report. So she doesn't think she'll have straight As.

But we can view all her grades online, as they happen, and we've seen a tremendous turnaround. So we've been telling her for a couple weeks now that we're very pleased with her effort, no matter what comes of it in the end. We just happened to peek at her grades again this week and notice that she got a 100 on a math quiz last Friday that appeared to put her over the top.

So we think she is going to be very excited at report card pickup on Friday.

Now, back to the last day. It actually was a half day of school, and Levynn went to her BFF's house afterward (but not before Dad and Lincoln gave her a big hug as she came out of the building). That left the boys with a long afternoon to themselves, and we went to the planetarium.

We stumbled on a section of the museum that we don't recall ever seeing.

It had some neat things. Professor Lincoln particularly liked this replica of a medieval astronomy class.

Does he miss school already?
