This will be my last post of the school year. I want to thank all of you parents for your support and help during the last nine months, and also thanks to all my fantastic students for your hard work and positive attitudes! We've had a great year, with tons of learning going on, and it's been so much fun to watch your progress, particularly in reading. You guys are AWESOME!!
Every year, I take my kids on a walk to my house for a snack, and then to Eastside Park for some playtime. We chose a beautiful morning with lots of sunshine and blue sky. My neighbors love this tradition and look forward every spring to seeing my class walk up the hill.
We set off to my house at about 9:00 am.
While I went inside to get treats, the kids played a rousing game of Duck-Duck-Gray-Duck in my front yard.
Run!!
Popsicle time!
Hmmmmm, good!
Very tasty...
And no drips to wipe up from the desks!
After finishing up and wiping sticky fingers, I let the kids peek in my front door, and then we walked through the backyard and off to the park.
All of the first grade classes were at the park when we arrived, so the kids had lots of fun playing with all of their buddies. The equipment was very busy, and building sand castles was popular, too. Kind of dirty, but very fun!
These boys were having a great time burying Carson in sand.
First, his feet...
and then all the way up to his neck!
Still smiling.
Time to stand up...
and brush off.
The park was a very busy place with over 80 kids there, but
the kids had a great time, and everyone hated to leave.
My last message to all of you is one I've said many times this year: "The more you read, the better you read!" So... read lots this summer, and stop by my room in the fall and show me how much you've grown over the summer!
Thanks again for a fantastic year!
