End of the School Year 2012-2013, I Love You Like a Love Song Baby

Highlights from the 2012-2013 school year.
Kylee liked eating outside in the courtyard for lunch with her friend Kara.  Most kids had to eat in the cafeteria, but Coach Prose said they could always go out because they were good all the time.  They fed food to the birds.  Her favorite teachers were her GT tearchers, Mrs. Aguilar Cruz and Coach Prose.  She did not like Mr. Chessar for social studies.

Brayden was excited to finish up the school year so that he could start a new one in a different school. He didn't really didn't like his teacher Ms. Young, though she had a team teacher who he liked more. He didn't really want to take a picture with his teacher.

Julia had the same first grade teacher that Brayden had three years earlier, Mrs. Branch.  She enjoyed having her as a teacher.  She was nice and no one really got in trouble.  I was a volunteer for the first grade and I would make copies for everyone.

Blake's Pre-K teachers were the same that Julia had.  He learned so much and enjoyed the year. His favorite thing to do was free centers on Friday.  He liked making bead necklaces during the free choice time and bringing them home to give to our family.


Since we moved up to Helotes a little more than half way through the school year we decided it would be easier to commute back to Bob Lewis Elementary and Vale Middle School for the remainder of the year rather than change schools midstream.  That meant I had to make the 1 hour round trip drive several times a day.  In the morning we would all drive down together at 7 a.m.   I would drop off the elementary school kids and then take Kylee over to Vale.  Blake and I would come back to the house because he had afternoon Pre-K, so only a few hours later we would head back to drop him off.  I would sometimes run errands around the old neighborhood, but sometimes head back home just to make the trip a third time a few hours later.  In the afternoon Kylee got out almost an hour after the elementary school kids.   We would hang out and let them play at the Bob Lewis playground and then head over to Vale a little early to be near the front of the line to pick her up.  Spending a lot of time in the car meant getting to know all the songs on the radio.  Blake, who got the most car time started singing to the top 40.  It was pretty funny to hear him singing along with Selena Gomez to "I love you like a love song baby".
