School is out!

(Note: this post has been written since the week school was out- just waiting for pictures)

I can not believe we have been out of school for 2 months! Mackenzee will be a 1st grader, wow time flies!

We will miss her teacher, Mrs. Pendleton, very much. She was great with Mackenzee and helped her to learn so much. Mackenzee was very sad when she realized she would not have her as a teacher next year in 1st grade.

The last week of school was so fun. They had Monday, Memorial Day, and Friday, teacher work day, off. They celebrated the summer birthdays by having a party for all of them. I was able to help in the classroom for an entire day, that was a blast. While the kids were making a special "thank you" for their parents (and I had to not pay attention to that part), I worked with them on some end of the year fun. I had them close their eyes and draw a picture. Then we all laughed at how silly they pictures look. I explained to them a little about abstract art. It was so fun to see how excited they were to tell and show Mrs. Pendleton about abstract art!

The last day of school they did a little program of several songs they had learned throughout the year. After each child gave their parent a flower to thank them for their help. Very cute and of course the kids gave the teachers a thank you too.

Before the last day of school:
