Finally, school is over! Because we are on track system (year round school) we didn't get out of school til July 1st! The kids are so ready to be done!
I don't have room to keep all of their art projects, so we gathered everything together and took a photo... That way they will always remember them, but I can throw them away! (We did keep a few special ones...)
Aidan had a Kindergarten program where he dressed up in what he wants to be when he grows up (a soccer player), and they sang songs. He did a marvelous job, just very quietly.
He also did an animal report. He chose the Grey Wolf. He told interesting facts about the wolf and made a prop--it could have been a poster, etc, but I wanted to try something different so we made a die/block with pictures on each side. It turned out really cute. He would then roll the die and tell the class about the picture (baby wolves are called pups, wolves howl to communicate, etc). I told him about the book "Call of the Wild" and now it is his favorite book... even though we haven't read it (we started, but it is pretty heavy reading for a six year old and we didn't get very far--about four pages in, he asked, "Who is Buck?"--that is the dog, the main character...)
The kids loved their teachers this past year--each teacher was perfect for the boys. I could not have picked a more perfect teacher for Aidan--always giving treats and making school a FUN place. And Weston's teacher is perfect in every way! We tried to convince her to move on and teach third grade... I just hope they get good teachers this next year.
Now we'll begin on our big list of fun Summer Activities. I have a lot of things planned to keep the kids occupied and happy. We'll see if I am successful!
