First Grade Finale Fun

The end of the year party in Logan's class was a fun kick off to summer. After a pizza party, they had some recess time, where I found Lo and his best pal Jamie hanging out in the dirt, doing what they do...playing some imaginary game, kitty itty bitty sity or what ever the game of the week might be.

Then it was time for the games to begin...a little "school, school, SUMMER!" ala duck duck goose

And an over under relay with the beach balls

A wet sponge relay to help keep things cool

Last but not least, a water balloon toss. I can't think of a better kick off to summer activity!

And to top off all this fun and excitment....the world's biggest otter pops!

(notice the moisture on the lens...it's because one of those darlings got ME with a water balloon!)

Back in the classroom, there were more summertime surprises!

The kids were very excited to give Mrs. Carlson her retirement gift, a personalized garden border for her to use now that she will have more time to smell the roses

Not a bad way to finish up First Grade!
