Hero Day

This week is Red Ribbon aka Drug Free week at school.  Each day is a different dress up day.  Today was hero day.  Mikayla decided that farmers are her heros.  Ashlee decided that Aunt Hollie and all cancer survivors and fighters are her heros.  Yes, we took a different approach to hero day.  Instead of dressing up as superman, batman, or some other fictional character, they chose real life hero's.  So we went to Michaels and got supplies to make them their own hero shirts.  Here is what we did.

Mikayla spent the morning of hero day at home with acid reflux problems.  So I did not get a picture of her in her shirt.  She was able to get the reflux under control and go to school later on that day.  But I was in too much of a hurry to get her to school and get to work, so I did not get a picture.

Drama Award

Mikayla received an award today for being an outstanding student in Drama class. 

Life Skills Award

Each month the girls school focuses on a different Life Skill and each month they select a student from each class that demonstrates that Life Skill.  Ashlee received a Life Skill Award for Organization.  She is always prepared, has what she needs and her notes and assignments are always organized.

Plant Cell Cake

Mikayla had an assignment to do a plant cell project.  She had to make a flip book with the parts of a plant cell along with descriptions of what each part does, and then make a model of a plant cell. Mikayla chose to make a cake for her model.  Here is her plant cell cake.
