Cora's Great Day

Cora's class led the school's morning ceremony this week, and Cora got to welcome the students Tuesday before Nicolas led in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Stace and I happened to be on campus to help with a special science assembly, so we were lucky enough to watch.








Cooper and Wylie's mom Pam helped with the science assembly, and was on campus during recess. She watched the kids playing hitball, a baseball hybrid in which the kids use their outstretched arms as a bat to knock a pitched soccer ball into play.

Yes, that's Cora, the only girl in the game. This is a game she's loved the last couple of weeks, but she feels like she constantly has to prove her abilities to be accepted into the mix. She is so brave!

As a mama, I'm so relieved to hear her talk happily about something happening at recess; this year has been difficult for her in a lot of ways. Thanks to Pam for the photo (and the ones at the end).

I helped out when it was time for Cora's class to participate in the science assembly. This outside company brought in lots of neat, interactive displays, like what you'd experience at a children's science museum.

Here's Cora turning on a light on a bike with her pedal power.

After school, Pam took Cora with her boys to MB2 Raceway for some go-karting fun.

Cora's been wanting to return to MB2 for a long time, so this seemed like a great opportunity for her. They met up with some other friends, and Cora had a blast.
