Last Day of School...

today is the last day of school for another year.

This class has been so great.  There were more girls

than boys, but they were good boys.

for the last few weeks I've been reading Charlotte's Web during the 

last 20 minutes of school.

I was surprised how into "it" all of the kids got.

So today I finally finished this beloved story...

there were a few tears at Charlotte's passing.

so during our "last day party" we're going to have the movie playing.

Some of the kids that had seen the movie said that they liked the book better

because there were more details!  Success!

Been helping wrap things up,

went to my stash of scrapbook paper and will make a 

new behavior chart...

found some cute awards and printed them off.

everyone will get an award for something

played three really fun games today with the kids...

*starting with a cookie on the forehead and only using muscles on the face get it into the mouth

*building a tower using spaghetti, marshmallows, tape and string

*trying to get three pieces of dried pasta on a piece of spaghetti using not using hands.

they were all hard, but the kids actually did it.

It was nice to take a break from cleaning desk.
