School's Out!

Wow! I had no idea it had been so long since I posted on our blog. We have been pretty busy with the end of school and we are getting ready for Jenna's dance performance next week. Anyway, last week we went on a field trip with Jaron's class to Turtle Bay. It was really fun. Jacob was able to come, too. This week has been super fun. Monday was "Camp Day", Tuesday was "Hawaiian Day", Wednesday was "Sport Day" and today was "Spirit Day". I helped out on Monday like usual. It was a laid back day. The kids did camping themed work. At my station, we got to make campfire snacks. It was a rice cake with peanut butter spread on top, raisin for rocks, pretzels for logs and strawberry jelly for fire. The kids really liked it. They were even willing to try the things they didn't like. I helped out yesterday, too. All the kindergarten and 1st grade classes got to go around to different stations outside and play games. I was at the bowling station. Jaron really enjoyed having me there.

I took a picture of Jaron this morning for the last day of school so, I thought I would do a comparison from the first day and the last day.

First Day

Last Day

Tuesday evening Jaron's class had a farewell play. Ms. Brown also handed out awards to each student. Jaron's award was for reading chapter books. He was the first one in his class to start reading chapter books and he read them very easily. He always scored high on his reading tests. We couldn't be more proud of him. He is such a smart boy.

Jenna has a dance performance next week. So we will be pretty busy until that is over with. I will have lots of pictures to share.
