7th Grade...

7th Grade happened...

This year the highlight of academics was taking extra science classes.  The first trimester was an insect class he liked it so much that I was able to get him into the rest of the science classes for the remainder of the year.  The second trimester was mammals and the third trimester was birds... I loved our daily dinner chats during this year... stories from class that day... something interesting he learned and then in Spring picking out which birds we had around town by listening and identifying from their calls. The Science teacher hands out 3 awards each year at the end of the year assembly and Walker received one of those!!

The rest of his classes were just classes for him... he did really well in them but they didn't hold the excitement that Mr. Hughes' Science classes did.  He continued on with Boys Choir this year and at the end of the year tried out for Franklin Singers..(which is the Elite Choir of Franklin) he made the group and is super excited to participate in the fall.  It will be a different type of choir in the fall since the Choir teacher that both he and Ainsley loved... decided to leave for a different adventure. On his last 7th grade choir performance they called all past student's of Mrs. Bailey's that were in the audience to come and sing one last time together... it was pretty awesome!
