We are nothing but impressed with our school's wonderful principal, Mrs. V. Although I am sad to see her retiring, I am glad we got to have her has our principal for the first half of K's elementary school years. (Picture taken at the retirement party, where we also had K's friend with us before she came home for a play date.)
Field Day! N and I went back and forth watching the children participate in the fun activities. I am so glad the weather cooperated this year! D is a natural at the 3-legged race and I thought it was neat to watch K's teacher doing the long jump with them. K was all smiles about it.
My 6-year-olds happy to see each other on field day. (:
Dance party! M and J were front and center and dancing the entire time. I was impressed!
Wanting to make field day last a little longer and allow N to participate, we pulled out the potato sacks my mother had purchased for us. What fun!
Last day of school! M was super happy her egg didn't break during the egg drop. She was feeling the pressure since she knew K and D's didn't break when they were in kindergarten. She was also pleased to see she and J were wearing their matching shoes and that Ms. H's class had another impromptu dance party before the 5th grade parade, where all the classes cheer as they walk around the hallways of the school.
Here are my wonderful children with their wonderful teachers! K's teacher will be moving on to a position training new teachers with the school district. I am sad my other children won't be able to have her, but can't help but be happy she has this great opportunity and think she is a perfect fit for the job.
After school picnic! Since N and I arrived early for the egg drop, we were able to set out our blanket and lunch boxes in the best spot in the entire place. By the time we got back out, it was crowded but we were happy to eat in our special place in the shade. I can't believe M is done with kindergarten, D is done with first grade K will be a 3rd grader, and N will be a preschooler. I can't wait to see the looks on people's faces when they ask me what grade my kids are in and I reply, "Preschool, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd." They are going to think I'm crazy. But who couldn't be happy to have this crew around?
