End Of The Year

 We had a relaxing last two days of school! It was nice to have some fun and cherish our last two days together. We played more minute to win it games! Some of them are blurry because they are action shots! Take a look below. The first game we played was called "Go Fishing". The kids had to use a paper plate to get a tissue paper fish to the other side of the room by fanning. 
 For "Keep It Up" they had to work together with a partner to keep their balloon up in the air using their hands, feet, head, and any other body part they could. 
The children had fun with "Nose Diving". They put a little bit of vaseline on their noses and had to transfer cotton balls from one plate to another by making them stick to their nose and then shaking it off onto the other plate. 
 For "Skittle Skurry" they had to use a straw to suck up the skittles to move them to the other plate.
 "Junk In The Trunk" was definitely their favorite of the games we played this week! They had an empty tissue box tied to their waist and it had 10 ping pong balls in it. They had to jump, shake, twist, etc. in order to get all of the ping pong balls out. They enjoyed cheering each other on and watching them move in order to get them out.
Tabitha's hair kept getting stuck in the box so she had to hold it. She had a case of the giggles! 
 On our last day we enjoyed watching a movie with Miss Previte's class while we enjoyed some popsicles as well! 
I hope you all enjoyed watching the video we made for you! We watched it many times after our awards per the request of the kids and I know they enjoyed it! I can't believe the year is over. It went by so fast!! The room is packed up and everything is put away. I wanted to let you know that I will be moving to room 207 for next year and getting a Promethean Board!! So if you would like to come visit (please do!!), you will know where to find me!

I will miss you all so much! It is time for them to leave us and go on to first grade. I know they will all do great because they now have those 21st century skills that they developed over the course of the year! They have learned to read, write, and do math but they have also learned how to problem solve, work together with their peers, finish their work, do their best work, come up with creative ideas, create plans, respect their peers and teachers, take part in their learning and deciding what they would like to learn about, and many more important skills! It is important for children to have these skills as a foundation for their education in order for them to be successful in the future. I am so proud of the students and everything they have accomplished this year! 

Have a great summer!
