Last Day of School - May 19, 2011

Well, here we go - on to summer vacation.

Jake got Perfect Attendance again this year. He also got the National Physical Fitness Award for his fitness tests. He was in the running club this year and ran before school 3 or 4 days a week. He loves to be active.


MaKenna got Perfect Attendance too. She has gotten perfect attendance every year! Wonder how long we'll be able to keep this going. Maybe if she missed a day here and there, her teacher would be coming back next year. (Just kidding)


Kyler completed his Jr. Kindergarten / kindergarten class at KinderCare. It was the regular kindergarten curriculum, but he'll be in kindergarten again next year. But, even so, he had his graduation tonight. "He is the quiet one in the class and grew by leaps and bounds this year."

Teacher Appreciation Gifts

OK - so it's the end of the year which means time to figure out what to do for teachers.

Kyler took a basket full of candy and treats that had cute little sayings on them.

You are OUT OF THIS WORLD! (Mars bar)

You deserve a BREAK today! (Fastbreak)

We are NUTS about you! (Peanuts)

You deserve an extra PAYDAY! (Payday)

Jake and MaKenna took writing journals to their teachers with pens and a jar full of topics.

This gift basket contains the supplies for you

to record your story.

Simply choose a question strip each day from the jar.

Adhere the question strip to the top of

your journal page and use the question as

inspiration for your entry that day.

Once completed, you will have recorded the story of your journey as a teacher,

what it has taught you and how it has touched you.

We only hope that this special gift

and the joy of the process will allow you to see

just how special you have been to not only our child,

but countless others as well.
