May and the end of School

 We started the month off with decorating the teacher's doors for Teacher Appreciation week.  It turned out really cute, with rockets showing the teacher's faces and the kids were little astronauts floating around.  I worked with great room mothers this year!  Here are the kids:  Jenny's boys - Andy and Alex and Terri's daughter - Chloe.

The first Monday in May was May the 4th be with you at the library.  They had some fun activities!

Jacob had an assignment to bring home the class bear, do activities with him and then send a short video to the teacher talking about the bear.  Turned out well.

Then came Mother's Day.  I got a bike this year.  I hope to ride it sometime.  Bikes are pretty uncomfortable to me, so we'll see.  :)

The whole first grade held a talent show and Jacob decided to read a story he had written.

You can see he loves pictures!

Jason's work held a community tour the end of May.  We took a bus ride through the refinery and then Jacob hopped on the fire truck.

After the tour we went downtown to a Read Today event.  They had all sorts of booths with goodies.  We stopped to eat a Creamie--it was hot!

Jason has a hammock that Jacob loves to get out.  He reads underneath the seat part when it is folded up a bit.

And of course you could not finish off the school year without a "School's Out" party.  We had food, slip-n-slides and the big inflatable.











Friday, the 5th, was the last day of school.  Wow!  A whole year of Chinese done!  Jacob had some great teachers this year.  Mrs. Hannah was the English teacher and Mrs. McFarland was the Chinese teacher.  They both worked well with him and Mrs. McFarland had a lot of patience!

Now we are on summer break!!
