5th Grade Graduation!!!!

I cannot believe that I just got my DIPLOMA, and GRADUATED just YESTERDAY!! I would have posted this post up yesterday, but I had trouble logging in.

The graduation was great! All the 5th graders got our diplomas, and after the GRADUATION, it is CONGRATULATION, and CELEBRATION!!! There was food, drinks, snacks, dance, and games! Even someone to DJ the dance!!! He controlled the music that most people were dancing to. The games there include:
-A bowling game with huge soda bottles filled with one cup of sand, and decorated to look like Hawaiian hula dancers, with leis and grass skirts! They were lined up in a triangle, point toward us, and we can knock them down with coconuts! Bowling! It was hard, because the bottles were filled with sand, making it difficult to knock them down.
-A jump rope contest! Who ever can jump longest without messing up wins!
-A game where you stand on one foot, balancing on an upside down bucket, and holding two containers filled with water spread out at around a fifty degree angle, and each one weighing around 4 pounds each. See who can stay balanced the longest.
-A LIMBO STICK! I participated in the limbo, spending most of my time there. HANDS CANNOT TOUCH THE GROUND! Or elbows. Or knees. Or back. Or anything else that is NOT feet. ONLY your feet can touch the ground. You can get a second chance if you accidently touched the stick. There's even hula hoops.


The party was so much fun.

But a 5th grade graduation is a once-in-a-lifetime chance...

It was really fun, and enjoyable. All the classrooms had different colored T shirts. We even saw our teacher wear a hot pink T shirt! That is the first time he has wore pink! All the T shirts say the same thing. On the front:
"Our future is so bright..."

And, on the back:
"...we have to wear shades!"

We actually wore shades! We received the sunglasses and secretly hid them until it was time to stand up, put the shades on, and turn around to our parents!! EVERYONE was wearing them!! Parents were flashing their cameras proudly. We got to keep the shades!

It seems worth it to finally get your diploma, and CELEBRATE about it!
