End of the year


We are finally coming to the end of our year- after using eight (yes, I did say eight) snow days this year, it really does feel like we've been in school forever! I always wrap up the year with memory books for each grade level I teach. Inside are songs, poems, and activities related to themes we have learned throughout the year. I love the opportunity to give something to my students that they can take home and share with their parents- and it gives us a moment to take a trip down "memory lane".


For the students who are passing on, I like to add a personal note to the back of each memory book. It is a very emotional time for me!

Kids do say some pretty funny things!

The other day one of my kindergarten students raised his hand and said in all seriousness, "Senora, my brother told me how to say 'boy and girl' in Spanish. It's 'dude and dudette'."
I could hardly keep from laughing!!!!
