Field Day and Other Ramblings

Can you even begin to believe that tomorrow is our last full day of school? I feel so ill prepared to end the year, but not because I haven't had a blast. The teachers have a ton of paperwork stuff to do before we can start our summer vacation. On a list of about 50 items, I am probably on number 3 right now. That leaves me a busy, busy, busy last few days of school! But that's okay; I will get it done!

Remember that our book discussion will begin sometime next week. That information will be sent home on Thursday. Make plans now to check in here at least once a week!

While I am thinking about it, here is a link to Mrs. Ward's blog. She hasn't posted anything yet, but I figured most of you would be interested in seeing what our looping buddies are doing over the summer. Plus, most of you are proud members of the Mrs. Ward fan club. Now you can talk with her over the break, too! Now that I think about it, I guess she is the real reason most of you are in my class this year--I bet you're regretting that decision, aren't you? DON'T ANSWER THAT!! All I can say is "Blame Mrs. Ward!"

On to Field Day. As I mentioned in a previous post, it was so awesome to see so many of our parents out helping last week. When parents are active in the school family, the students truly benefit. It's just another reason why Paideia is great! Anyhow, I am going to post a few pictures that you might enjoy.

Getting started, none of you were too excited about the hats, but I think they grew on you as the day progressed. Next year you will like the hats a little better. I promise!


Here is the station that was a little bit dangerous! Plus it was by the dumpster, so it didn't smell all that great either!


And just a few other shots of our crew! What a great day!!
