Last Day of School

What a great day it was, probably, one of my favorite in all school days. We all were so excited for the last day of school! I took off that day and when I asked Ms. Dentler if I could come to take a picture of her and Kyra, she told me I could come for the entire day and hang out with them. Brandon asked Mrs. Weimer and here you go. I was there.

First, I spent about an hour in Kyra's class. For fun they were watching "Frozen" but had to get interrupted for 2nd graders to come in and show their writing samples to 1st graders so they know how they will be writing by the end of next year. When Ms. Dentler told the kids about their visit, she said:
- I expect you to be good audience. Do you know what being good audience means?
I am not sure which boy it was, but the first thing this one boy said was:
- You can't go Booooooo!
Ms. Dentler did not even wink and said that he was right.

When I came to Brandon's class, they were watching "Shrek". I have never watched it so it was a small bonus :) Kids had a snack and did a craft and Brandon made a bracelet for me to keep :) He is so sweet!

Here Wesley is in red shirt, behind him is Ethan who is moving this year. Brandon is in green together with Corey.   (Donkey is in the background)

In the middle of the movie it was time for recess. It was interesting to step back and watch the relationship between the kids. A couple of them were taking outs pretty seriously and were upset. Others did not care much (like Alexis, the only girl who wanted to play) - she was just happy playing.

Brandon begged me to play 4 square with them and the boys let me play without getting me out because I did not know their exact rules. It was very kind of them (plus Brandon saved me once :)

I was very impressed by how Brandon stood up to a couple kids when they were upset about losing and he came and right in the face told them to be out. Here he is playing with Wesley, Reese and Corey. Alexis and Valerie are in the background.

 Happy monkey monkeying around.

How could they get away with no picture with silly faces??? 

When we got back to the class, Mrs. Weimer gave the whole class their awards. She was describing that person and, apparently, kids voted. Brandon got an award for being the best leader of the class. How awesome is that??

We took pictures with kids teachers' and we were on the way to start our summer.

 4th and 2nd graders! Yahooooooo!

When we got home we had picnic lunch outside and chilled for a little bit. We drove to Harrisburg, stopped at Pop's work to say hello and went to ToysRUs and 2nd and Charles to get kids end of the year great reports cards awards. Kyra picked a big stuffed penguin and Brandon picked NHL video game. They both were very happy with them.
Summer is finally here!
