California Mission

In CA 4th graders learn about California's history. At our school they have a report and a project due at the end of May. They have a list of topics and subjects to pick from. We always choose the San Louis Rey mission. It's always a huge relief when it's all turned in and done. :)

The 4th graders put on a little CA history performance the week their projects are due. After the performance their projects are on display in their classrooms. It's kind if hilarious because it is so funny to go see all the projects made by the parents. Anyway, back to the performance. Austin had a real part! He had lines he memorized and a couple parts in a song that he sang all by himself! He did not even tell us this until the afternoon of the performance. Then he got all nervous and said he only wanted me to come. He was afraid everyone would say stuff and make a big deal about it. Kind of like what I'm doing right now :) We all went anyway. He did great! Paul and I are so pleased with him. He has come so far since his quiet, no more like silent kindergarten days! My pictures of the performance are horrible, but I'll post a couple anyway.
