The Last Week of School

The last week of school was packed with activities.  We were very busy the whole week.

Spring Concert

The Kindergarteners sang a really cute song called “Tony Chestnut” (from The Learning Station).  The actions that they did with the song made it the talk of the town.  They did an encore presentation at their graduation.

Track and Field Day

Bria running the 25m dash.  She also ran the 50m dash.  It is so funny to watch kids this age run a race.  They slow down before the finish line because they are afraid to go through the string.  After the first group runs then the kids are not afraid of the line and they do much better.  Bria got 3rd in her first race, and 1st in the 50m dash.  The kids are only allowed to do three events, and Bria’s last event was the cone race (weaving through cones while running).  At the end of the track meet all the kids get a special treat.  Bria wanted to wait for the treat, so we hung out for another 1 hr and 15 min.

Clean Up Day

The day before school got out the kindergartens cleaned out all of their cubbies and collected any papers that were theirs.  Then they got a special ice cream treat when they were all don’t.

Graduation

Friday was the Kindergarten Graduation.  Check out the next post.

To Grandpa’s and Grandma’s

Immediately after Bria’s graduation we headed to David’s parents.  They had a special event they wanted to take the grandkids to at the Children’s Museum.  Cousin L was also at their house, and the girls were excited to go.  David and I came back home Saturday night so we could attend the high school graduation and all the parties we were invited to.

That made for a busy weekend.  David and I have most of the week without the girls.  Grandpa and Grandma will be bringing them back in a couple of days.
