It's officially summer! The last week of school was pretty busy for us. I had a singing recital, soccer tournament, and the 5th grade celebration.
On May 5th, my family went to go see the musical "Chicago"! It was so good!
Last weekend, from the 31st to the 2nd, my soccer team had our
soccer tournament. We did really well - placed 5th! In the fall, we didn't
win any games or score any goals, but this year we won six games, and
scored a goal in every single one, except for one!
The first game we played on Saturday, it was SUPER rainy, but we won
2-0!
Between the two games on Saturday, I had my singing recital. I sand
Gary Indiana as a duet, Baby Mine by myself, and All For You by myself.
On the Monday of the last week of school, June 3rd, my school had our
5th grade celebration. Basically, everyone made a board celebrating and honoring
all the work they made in the 6 years of elementary school, and then you
get to show it off to adults and fellow classmates. Also, there are cupcakes,
water, and a slideshow about our favorite memory in the cafeteria. Next year,
I am going to a different middle school than all of my friends. I only know one
person who is going to the same middle school as me, but I am still
super excited (and a little nervous) for middle school.
The day before school got out, the 5th graders had our annual water ballon toss,
which is just what it sounds like. You have a partner, and you throw a water balloon
and try to catch it. If you caught it and it popped, you are out, or if you don't catch
it, you're out. My partner was my mom, and one time she did catch it, but
it popped as soon as she caught it. She got soaked!
After that, we had a water balloon relay with only the 5th graders. I was standing
in line, waiting for my turn, when my mom grabs a water balloon and says
"Willa, think fast!", then threw the water balloon at me. I got even more soaked than
my mom did.
On Thursday, June 6th, was our last day of school. My sisters had to go to
school extra early for some reason. I'm pretty sure it has to do with them being in
Student Leadership.
Yesterday, June 7th, my family and I went to a cute little ice cream parlor in Czech
Village. My mom and Cora shared their try four flavors thing, Evaline got a cherry
soda float, and I got Key Lime Pie ice cream in a waffle cone! We all agreed that
this place is super good!
