End of Fourth Grade

This year Merinda was a pink talking Lily in her drama's club production of Alice in Wonderland.

Here is a picture of all the flowers who also served as the plays back-up chorus.

Merinda's good friends in her class played the parts of Alice, Twiddle Dee and Tweedledum.

Merinda also participated in gifted & talented drama performance of Billy Goat's Gruff. The kids have little preparation time, and perform without microphones on a small stage surrounded by an audience. This type of setting is a little more intimidating and included individual and small group skits and performances.

 

Merinda enjoyed the Fourth Grade Career Fair. This is where the students choose what they want to be when they grow up, research that occupation, and then present it to the school and parents in five-minute mini presentations. Merinda chose to be a Pharmacist, and her friend Taylor, a Doctor.

Here one of Merinda's friends is explaining the duties of a Veterinarian.

Merinda also participated in gifted & talented Invention Convention, where the student had to come up with an original invention, investigate its originality and market value, write a proposal, and present the proposal to real professionals. Her invention of "Quick Tips" won her second place.

And finally, I had a fun time going with Meridna on her end-of-year field trip to Frankfort, which is the capital of Kentucky. 

We had fun visiting the old Frankfort Capital Building (see above), and Kentucky history museums.
