Last day of school and the farm field trip...

I know. I'm behind. Again. Only a couple weeks late on the farm field trip and the last day of school was only LAST Thursday. And now, as the girls tell me, "It's summer vacation!" I volunteer at the school on Thursday's serving the hot lunches with my SIL. She was gone on vacation so I was just there by myself last week. It's always fun hanging out with the kids. It rained that day, so recess was inside. I brought my camera and snapped a couple pics that day. We were in the grade 1-4 classroom. I think all the preschoolers had fun being in a different room with different toys.

The girls teacher made up all the parents a little book of cute phrases said by her students throughout the year. Mrs. P keeps a little notebook handy and when a child says something funny or insightful, she writes the date and what they said in the notebook. What a wonderful idea! I will cherish this book!

And now, a couple of the funnies...

Sydney told us this morning that "A slow song makes the caterpillar sleep."

10-12-06:
"Mrs. P!" exclaimed Lindsey when she came into the classroom, "I had frosting on my window today!"

10-26-06:
At the drinking fountain Lindsey said while filling up her paper cup after snack, "I just want a little bit, cause a big bit might spill!"

1-30-07:
"There's only 2 monies left!" exclaimed Lindsey at afternoon play time. "Bank robbers!" suggested Cameron.

And a picture from the last day of school...



The week before this, I went on a field trip with the girls to the farm and then out to the lake for a picnic and play at the park. LOADS of fun!
