Linking up this Sunday with Doodle Bug for my Five for Friday. This week/year has been the busiest ever.
2 weeks ago we had our Open House/International Day.We got to do some fun crafts to decorate our classroom, including some cute sea turtles since our song was from Hawaii. Below are some pictures of what my firsties got to show their parents. My favorite area was the pictures of my cuties wearing sunglasses. I love it so much that I got each of them sunglasses as part of their end of year gift.

Can I just exclaim I love this part of the school year! Friendships have formed, their almost second graders, and the world just seems so simple looking at this photo. I had a chatty bunch this year but I will definitely miss them!
We also adventured to an aquarium for our study trip this year! They had so much fun watching the sea lions, touching star fish and riding on a bus. I had wonderful parent volunteers to make this day a breeze. I did have one student who ran, to look a drummers, and got lost all of 2 minutes right before we left but overall it was a stress free day.
We are in the process of making our Mother's Day cards and gifts. So I did a directed drawing by Heidi Butkus with my kiddos. On top is my step by step drawing that many of my firsties mimicked. The one on the bottom is a rendition of the step by step by one of my firsties. I literally laughed out loud as I flipped through all my students' work. For your viewing pleasure...
Lastly, I was so so so excited to see this in our faculty room
Ahhhh... less than 30 days until my first official summer vacation(I usually work at summer camps to make extra money)!! My plans are to do some professional development, visit my parents in Louisiana, visit my lovely best friend after her babies here, and RELAX!
How many days do you have left?? What are your plans?
Saw this post this morning and couldn't agree more!
