Busy Busy Busy Emily

Emily's been really busy.  At the end of the school year the 5th graders presented a wax museum.   I initially thought the kids would be able to pick there own Historical Character and we had prepped for Emily to be Eleanor Roosevelt but then she came home with a slip that said Betsy Ross so Betsy is was. 

Instead of a  big ceremony Sprucewood opts for the 5th Grade Graduation to be fun party with the class.  I'm pretty sure the kids all agreed it was the best way to go.

At the end of year awards Ceremony, Emily was honored for her work with Safety Patrol as well as an outstanding student award!

A couple days after school ended we drove Emily down with her cousin Bentley to Cedar City where they attended the SUU science camp.   The theme was survivor and Emily learned all kinds of stuff I didn't know about like what to do for sunscreen when you are in the woods and don't have any.  (Rub some Aspen Bark on your skin).  They also fished for Crawdad's  and had a great time.

Next up Emily attended the Intermountain Suzuki Strings Institute.  A full week of Viola Practice taught by experts from around the world.   The teaching was excellent and so were the concerts that the staff as well as the students performed.

Emily finished her Viola camp and then was off to Teasdale where she Jane and Bentley did there cooking camp for 2 days.   The Camp was all about Pasta and my girls now know how to make fresh homemade Pasta.

Along with the Cooking Camp Emily woke up bright and early and did Swimming lessons all week.  Emily has officially passed off Lcvel 4 and is a champ at diving,  the breaststroke, butterfly, backstroke, sidestroke and more.
