January Happenings

Each January, I take the kids to the dentist for their biannual checkup. Normally that wouldn't be a blogworthy event, but this year, Kaitlynn was extra excited to see the dentist. Why? Because it was Anna Faith's very first dental checkup. Hahaha!

The dental hygienist was so sweet to take time to check Anna's teeth.

High five for a great checkup for Anna!

Also in January was a fun birthday celebration for Kaitlynn's kindergarten bestie, Haasini. These sweet girls didn't get as much time together in 1st grade, but they still have so much fun spending time together.

Sweet friends.

Also on Kaitlynn's best friend list is her musical solo partner, Dominique. These two girls together are just TOO funny. Let's just say that I believe Kaitlynn has finally met her match!!

For kids in our elementary school, each grade level gets to participate in activities throughout the year to encourage learning in new and fun ways. PATHS (Parents and Teachers Helping Students) is the grade level event that is kind of like an on-campus field trip. Each grade has a different theme and the kids rotate through volunteer-led stations to learn more about the theme. Ranger Science is another event for each grade that lets students conduct hands-on science experiments to enhance their learning and love of science. I found these pictures of Connor and Kaitlynn participating in these events on the yearbook website.
