Last Day Of School

The end of the school year was here before I knew it.  Delsie couldn't resist telling Dalanie hi.  Of course Dalanie worried that Mrs. Murray would get mad.

 Dalanie was the only first grader to be awarded the Presidential fitness award.

 Awards assemblies are so emotional for me.  There are the teachers that have taught, nutured, and spent so much time with their classes and then students that have worked really hard to accomplish difficult things.  I wish every kid could be recognized.  It is amazing what these pieces of paper do for them, such a feeling of accomplishment.

 Mrs. Murray was a good teacher for Dalanie.  She is very orderly and strict, so it gave Dalanie the parameters she seeks.  I appreciated spending time in their class to see what they were learning and how Mrs. Murray was teaching them.  So much happens in first grade!  Dalanie's off to a great start.

 It is always cute to see how excited kids get to see their siblings at school.

Hudson got an attendance award and the National Fitness award.

 The last day of school was field day.  Generally I like to go and help, but I  had been pawning off my younger kids so much I decided to opt out.

Hudson was in Miss Crofts class with Hailey.

I was able to come in to their class and help.  I was a little nervous at first since it was Miss Crofts first year teaching, but she proved to be a very competent and capable teacher.

We had Telfords over for an impromptu bbq after dance dress rehearsal so it wasn't a complete let down for the kids.  They put water in the sandbox and had popsicles, so everyone went home happy.
