FCFE End of Year Celebration

We had a great time watching the displays of talent, eating, fellowshipping, making things with pipe cleaners and beads, and eating some more.

Class President

 Hannah usually shares a talent, but this year was different. She had just gotten her top orthodontic appliance (poor planning on my part), which makes it hard to talk normally. Look! I know, you can't see it. She is adjusting well, too it, though. For something that's called a Rapid Palatal Expander, it's not as bad as I thought. Two weeks ago, she got a lower expander that is removable and they call it a retainer, but it expands, too. She is being very responsible and is taking good care of her appliances and her teeth. She chipped a front tooth in the pool on Sunday, but you can't even tell that in the picture, either. Her lip covers it and really it is not that noticable unless you are looking for it. So glad that it was not severe.
She has breezed through her lessons this year. She loves to read and says her favorite subject is Science. She's a good helper around the house and sometimes helps her brother with a school lesson.

Class Clown

Josiah has had a pretty normal year for a 1st grade boy. He would rather play that sit and do reading, writing, and 'rithmatic. He loves to interact and entertain. He still likes to find interesting wildlife and identify it. He has a tender heart and is very thoughtful. He likes to help when there is something to be lifted or carried. His favorite subject is science also, especially when he can experiment and discover things for himself. He has made great strides in reading this year and enjoys reading his Bible Reader and nonfiction books about animals.
