Last days of school!

Ok! So summer is coming-- I think. It seems like it should be summer but the weather doesn't feel like it. We have all been busy this last week with parties, and games, autographs and goodbyes. It is such a bittersweet time of the year. When you are a child, you cannot wait to just waste the summer away by playing til the sun goes down. Then as a parent, you are excited to not have to wake up and struggle with the ones that aren't morning people, and get breakfast and get them off to school. You don't HAVE to have a schedule. You can play with them. But then you don't have those extra hours of free time to have MOM time and you are subjected to hear MORE of the bickering that you normally hear. (OK so this is how it is for me)

Well these past few days have been fun. We have been thinking of what to do to tell our teachers that we love them and that we appreciate all that they have done for us. We came up with a couple of things but this is what we did

On Wednesday, Brekyn's class had their "End of the Year" party. We watched a slide show that Mrs. Coffman had put together and then we went outside to play. We played Beach Ball-Base Ball. Only we had a few rules!

#1. When you go to first base, you have to WALK BACKWARDS!


#2. When you go to second base, you have to LEAP FROG!


#3. When you go to third base, you have to CRAB WALK!


#4. When you are going home, you have to HULA HOOP!


#5. When you are in the outfield, you have to use BABY STEPS!


This was SO much fun! It took the kids a minute to get it but they caught on quick!
The we had popcicles and the kids got to sign the beach ball and we gave it to Mrs. Coffman as a souvenier to remember her 07/08 second grade class. Brekyn loved her teacher and she is going to miss her over the summer.

I cannot believe that my baby is graduating from 6th grade and moving into JR HIGH!!!! I feel so OLD! She is really going to miss her teacher, Miss Hone. She is going to miss a lot of people that she won't be seeing next year because they won't all be going to the same school




Then on Thursday, it was time to hand out awards and Sydnie received a couple of awards. One of them was the award for "Achieving the Presidential Academic Award". It is for grades and participation for the last 3 years. She also recieved the "Most Helpful Award" and the "keyboarding Award".


Brekyn recieved and award for "Stellar Storyteller" She is a good story teller and is always making little books. We may have an author on our hands.
