This is a bittersweet week for sure! I am SO INCREDIBLY PROUD of my kiddos! They have taught ME a thing or two (or 20) about being kind this year! I have NEVER had such a sweet group of kiddos! I hate to see them go but I know they must! I hope that above all else that stays with them from their 1st grade experience-that doing Acts of Kindness is on the top of the list! Knowing these kiddos it will be! :)
We had an AWESOME End of the Year party-hosted by our very own Room Mom, Mrs. Gardner. It's SO FUN to get to see the kiddos actually get to be kiddos for a while & they definitely got to do that at our party! :) She has been such a WONDERFUL room mom I do not know what I would have done w/o her this year! :) The kiddos made sure that Mady had a fun blower from our party. :) Mrs. Gardner & Makayla also gave me the most AWESOME end of the year gift-a beach bag FULL of fun, summer time goodies! :)
This time of year is CRAZY for teachers & we don't get a lot of breaks to get our 1 million items on our To Do list done so...to help out some friends that didn't get Library one day I invited Mrs. DePew & Mrs. Sebastian to send over their kiddos that usually go to Encore with us to come over while we watched a movie so they could hopefully get some work done in their classrooms. :) Mrs. DePew gave me a stamp set that she doesn't use anymore. I can't wait to try it out this summer! :)
Mrs. Smith was SO INCREDIBLY SWEET & watched my kiddos for me Tuesday so I could go be a Mommy for a bit & go to Mady's End of the Year luncheon at pre-school. :) Mrs. Smith is an AMAZING friend & I also don't know what I would have done w/o her again this year! :) Her boys don't fall far from the tree-Hayden went & got me a D. Coke one morning when I had forgotten & they both played/entertained Mady for the last two days. They gave her some sweet treats as well. :)
Mady came & hung out with us after her luncheon & again yesterday-the kids showered her with love & presents-including some "jewels" & a Crayon eraser that she thought was VERY COOL. ;)
I am SO FORTUNATE to work at a school that values not just our students but our own personal families as well so I can do things like that! :)
I gave Mrs. Lawson a coupon for her sweet baby girl. :)
Mrs. Coode made DELICIOUS Oreo covered chocolate balls for the end of the year-YUM! :) I have LOVED, LOVED, LOVED working with her this year, I really hope she gets to come back next year.
Taygen brought in an awesome End of the Year gift for me AND water bottles for the WHOLE class-SO FUN! :)
I gave the kiddos some clay for a fun summer activity. :)
Shayla S. brought me some candy & Aaliyah gave me some earrings. :)
Mr. Preston-one of our SWEET volunteers bought our classroom 3 hardback books-SO VERY THOUGHTFUL! :)
We have been collecting markers to take to a place that recycles them on our trip out west-the staff response has been AWESOME! I have a HUGE bag FULL to take! I am SO EXCITED! I can't wait to get to see the process! :)
Jackson brought me some perfume for an End of the Year gift. :)
Mrs. Williams gave me a bag of stuff for my treasure bin & a bag FULL of stickers-it was SO THOUGHTFUL of her! :)
Maddox brought me some yummy goodies & a cute green cup. :)
I got the sweetest end of the year note from Hannah's family. :)
Mrs. Brown gave Mady a Music book for the summer-SO SWEET of her to think of Mady! :)
I got the MOST BEAUTIFUL bouquet of flowers from Zayra's family with the sweetest card! :)
We did our final recycle for K & 1st grade. Hayden & Gavin took my recycle bin out for me one last time for the year. :)
I told you these kiddos were AMAZING! :) They did over 3,000 AOKs this year!!! :)
Final Total=3,024!!!
