End of the Year Celebration

The kindergarteners who will be coming to my classroom in the Fall don't know that I will not be their teacher.  That is ok.  They will succeed with the new teacher.  They have been well prepared by their kindergarten teacher and she will be staying at the school.

Their graduation ceremony was held in the church on Wednesday, June 3rd at 10:00.  Here are a few picture of them:

Afterward the parents and families were treated to a few goodies in the school hall.  Their teacher said the parents just loved the silhouettes that we made of them.  Easy, peasy.....  and so adorable.

It was a small class so they got lots of added attention and learning.

Good Luck to these students and their teacher next year!

Race for Education - Friday, May 1, 2015

Race For Education was a huge success!  The weather was perfect for our walk from St. Ailbe School to Jesse Owen Park.  The students had a fantastic time at the park before they had to walk back to school for lunch and more fun.  Here are some pictures:

One of my boys brought a huge ball to play with at the park.

The seventh grade girls were a big help with the younger kids.

She'll be in first grade next year.

The whole school had a fantastic day.  The weather was not too cold and not too hot.  The walk was a long one for the kids who do not get much exercise, including ME.  I was beat!
