Well I survived another year. In some ways this year seemed long but I can't believe it's over! This last week of school was pretty fun. Dustin always teases me that I don't work the last 2 weeks of school. The last week (one week) is a lot of cleaning, wrapping up and playing. We had water day yesterday. The kids take their desks and chairs outside and we scrub them down with soapy sponges then spray them down. Then in the afternoon we do rotations with water. The kids don't get really wet, maybe a few sprinkles here and there. I had about 5 kids that walked in Thursday morning and we almost in tears because 'Teacher, we forgot our swimsuits'. If only you could have seen the concern on their faces. It took me telling them a few times that they didn't need their swimsuit before they would calm down. I was in charge of the water balloon toss. It was a lot of fun. And I might have tossed a few right next to their feet. One of the little boys chased me and popped on on me though. Good times! The last day is always a little bitter sweet. The kids are so cute. A bunch of them made me cards. My favorite one said "Thanks for being a great teacher for first grade. You teached me a lot." (Guess they missed some grammar lessons :) Two of my girls made me a giant (like 12 papers taped together) poster of the three of us. I am very excited for summer though... sleeping in, staying up late, spending time with Dustin, playing with friends and family, camping, jet skiing, BBQ's... I could go on and on.
HAVE AN AMAZING SUMMER!

Yay, I love to hear updates from you! I'm glad your summer has finally begun! I am super jealous! I'll try to send some of the Arizona sun your way!!
I can't believe the year is over. It seems to have gone much faster since I stopped teaching. I miss all the activities we'd do together at the end of the year, but I'm glad I get to stay at home with Alek. I hope you have a great summer and we all need to get together before Dionne leaves for Texas.
Hey Caren! It was good to hear from you! We actually are still up here in the ol' Burg! So yea if you are coming up here you should for sure stop on by! It would be fun to see you! When would you be coming up?
I found your blog...haven't been to great about updating mine yet, but I thought it was only fitting to leave you a comment on your last day of school post. Hope all is well and hopefully I will be a good blogger soon too!
