Sophia's dance recital was a success!  I love being able to see the kids doing things that they love and that includes dance for Sophia.  She participated in ballet, hip hop and tap this year and just wrapped up her first season as an assistance dance teacher.

Jimmy did a research project on a famous person and chose Thomas Edison.  Afterwards, we worked together on a poster to present to his class.  

A blast from the past: Sam's poster was Johnny Appleseed; Sophia's was Helen Keller and Jack's poster was George Washington.
