Almost Done !

I survived Field Day with the kidos. We enjoyed some water games, freezie pops, and a read aloud. I also managed to get some things organized in the classroom. It is a strange feeling cleaning and packing up someone's room. Every day for the past week, I have brought a box of something home! I tried not to buy too much for this job because it was not my forever school. I did buy a few things for end of the year gifts for the kidos.

Here are a few random pictures

Labeling the parts of a plant ! 

More pictures to come. 

There are two days left with kids!

Still Teaching Strong!

I have 7 and 1/2 days with my kidos left. Some of the kidos are ready for the fun days - the upcoming field trip and the field day. Here are a few photos of the activities we have done: 

 
Kids will be decorating the gift bags and writing notes this week. 
 I went with colorful card stock for the hand prints.  

 
We started a unit on plants and the kids love it! I actually had two pages of "What I know about plants" 
 
I had my students draw their own life cycles. 

I am finishing up a unit on measurement this week and then giving my students their last math test of the year next Monday. I think Tuesday will be game day in math.

On a non-teaching note : I did an outdoor spin at my gym to support the local cancer research hospital. There is a huge bike ride in a few weeks and every year my gym drags the spin bikes outside to raise money in honor of the bike ride. Here is a pick of me during the ride: 

Today I went to an art festival with the husband. After three days of rain the sunshine was wonderful! I bought two cute things from two local artists: 


It's back work and rain tomorrow! It's my last full week - I can't believe it!

June.. WHAT??

I cannot believe May is over. Where did the time go? 

I have 12 days left with students. I am sad about it because I like the kids. Plus, I will have worked at another school with no job for next year. It makes me wonder what God has in store for me! 

Anyway, here is what  I did this on Sunday:  




Yeah - ignore that bag of mulch. I ran out of steam when it came to the last bag. LOL. 

I have a few more things to do with flowers, but there is the start! 

I am now onto working on parent volunteer gifts, Father's Day gifts, and a mini plant unit. There's a lot to do with the kids and not a lot of time left! YIKES ! 

Happy Reading !
