Spring Soccer

Orange=Sydney's Team (#3)
Bright Green=Williams Team (#6)
Dark Green=Lizzy's Team (#5)

April to May Spring soccer was quite chaotic. There were games for multiple kids that started at the same time or started while one game was ending and it was in a completely different area than the other games. There were a couple weekends that Jake and I had to split up and neither saw the other kids game.
And then there were some weekends where the games were one right after the other, or had like and hour break between the games. Those days, Jake stayed home with the kids until it was time to start there games. Lots of tag teaming to get this season completed. Sydney's games were in the big kid area which was in the back area of the soccer fields. Like a 5 to 7 minute walk from the little kid soccer fields where Lizzy and William played.

Sydney got to try her hand at goalie this season. She quite enjoyed that and was very proud of herself when she blocked the ball a couple times in a row.

William was quite good at soccer. When he was paying attention, he was super fast and beat other kids to the ball a lot of the time. He was the first one to make a goal of the season. We were so proud of him. 

Lizzy enjoyed it sometimes. She got tired fast and complained a lot, but when she was out on the field she was having fun.

My parents came down for a couple games. And the weather was quite cold during the season.

Sydneys School Poem

 April: For 3rd grade Sydney was told as a school assignment that she needed to memorize a poem and have some sort of art work to accompany it.
So Jake helped draw the shape of the octopus and Sydney painted it in (I helped at one point, because it got really late and she needed to go to bed).

Over the course of two weeks we practiced the poem to the point where all 3 kiddos could repeat it.

Octopus:

The arms on the octopus number eight: one, two three, four, five, six, seven, eight!

All curled up and pointing straight, one, two three, four, five, six, seven, eight!

In the ocean, octopuses wait, one, two three, four, five, six, seven, eight!

For clams and crabs to put on their plate! One, two three, four, five, six, seven, eight!

she also had to make another poster about specific math facts. And she drew it pretty well.
