A mid-year photo review!

I am amazed at how far these celebs have come just since August. Their physical growth is apparent as I look back through all the paparazzi pics. However, the photos also show just how much they have truly grown academically. They spent August and September learning new routines and procedures that are now second nature. October was filled with lots of learning and realizing that studying for test is super important! The month of November is when we all realize what a special family our entire class had become and just how thankful we were for each other. Our December was crammed full with so much fun, interactive learning from Gingerbread Puppetshows to Geo-Home construction. We even got a small sampling of a snow day!  I feel with certainty that 2014 has lots more fun, learning experiences ahead! Check out the paparazzi pics of their year so far...
