Busy Week

Awana's award night



Gift for teacher.



Art walk night.


Mother's Day song.





Birthday party fun.










I didn't realize how busy things get toward the end of the school year. There is 2 1/2 weeks of school left and each week gets more busy.





This week was teacher appreciation week. Monday morning we bring a flower for her teacher. So, Monday morning we ran to the store before going to school. We certainly were not the only one doing that on Monday morning. I think there was a least 10 other people in the storing buying flowers. On Wednesday the students were to bring in an art project they made for the teacher. We thought about what to make and it was between a frame and a flower pot. I thought the flower pot would be different so we spent Monday night and Tuesday night painting the flower pot and then decorating it. I think that Lauren did a great job and I thing it turned just lovely. I am glad we didn't do the frame, that was done by about half the class.






Thursday night was the schools annual Art Walk. The classes put up a lot of the art the kids have done during the year and get the chance to walk around and see it all. The classrooms are also open to go in and look at what has been going on in there. They have food and the band plays and there is a book fair. It is a nice time and a nice way to end the year. It kinda feels like it has been a full circle since the open house at the beginning of the year.





Friday was a very fun and special time. A few times during the year the parents are invited in for at "Reading Relative" party. The parents come in with books and blankets and pillows and we all sit down and read to our kids. We bring in food to share and everyone has a nice time. This time the students sang a song for the mothers and gave us some very cute gifts.


One of the things that Lauren gave me was a coupon for cleaning her room. She explained that I could give her the coupon and she would have to clean what I asked her to clean. She gave me some examples and then went on and said "But mom, you know it would not be very fair if you didn't help me. You wouldn't want me to just do it all. That would just not be very nice." So much for a housecleaning coupon.



On top of all the school activities, we has Awana's award night, cheerleading, dance, gymnastics and a birthday party.


These next week is looking like it is going to be as crazy busy as this week.
