Last Week of School

We had a great time during the last week of school. On field day, we ran a mini marathon, played games outside, ate lunch outside, watched a movie with our grade level, ate concessions, and even had a magic show! How much more fun could be had in one school day?



Well, the next day, we had our dance festival and pool party. So that was pretty awesome too.
Friday was time to say goodbye. We watched the slide show with all of the pictures from this year and had a big group hug.



This has been a great year! Have a super fun summer and we'll see you in the fall!

Read-a-Thon

The day the kids have been waiting for all year finally arrived, the Read-a-Thon!!! They got to do reading time with lots of books, treats, pillows, and they even got to lay down in class! It was lots of fun.















I can't believe how much reading they got done! One of the best Read-a-Thons ever!

Scientist of the Week

Ammon was our scientist last week. He did a couple of fun experiments called Finger Fun.


First he put pepper into some water.

Then he put some soap onto his finger and put his finger into the bowl.
 Look what happened!

Next he did an experiment with baby powder.

The children each got a turn to put their finger into the water. It was coated with baby powder, so you could push your finger in a little bit and it didn't get wet. Pretty cool!

Thanks, Ammon, for those great experiments!
