There are always so many fun activities at the end of the school year. Eliza's class did an ABC countdown to the end of school. Each day she looked forward to the theme that went along with that letter. It's such a fun tradition!
A - Animal Day
The local pet store brought some animals for a visit. Can you believe Eliza's touching that huge snake!?!

M - Muffins with Mom
T - Teddy Bear Tea Party
Eliza has blossomed in to such a confident and courageous girl this year! She's now outgoing with friends and adults alike. We're so proud of her!
Hazel's class also had lots of fun at the end of the year. They'd been studying life and school in the late 1800's/early 1900's (which Hazel has really loved because she's been reading the Little House on the Prairie Books and we read the Kirsten books for her book club). One day I was lucky enough to join her on a field trip to the Living History farm.

Another day her class rode a "big yellow time machine" to the old one room school house in town for a day of school circa 1918. They dressed up, packed lunches in pails or baskets, had old time school lessons, and played games like Red Rover.

I'd describe Hazel's growth this year as a growth in perseverance. She found for the first time in her life an academic skill that didn't come easily (timed addition tests), but she fought through her fears and discouragements and conquered those tests in the end. Way to go Hazel!
Field Day is always another highlight at the end of the year. The big girls had the world's best, cutest cheer squad!
And just like that they're done! First and third grade here they come!
