ABC Countdown

Well, we are down to 2 more days of school. I must admit that the last few weeks have been rough for the students as well as myself. The warm weather gets us all excited about the things to come: swimming pools, beach, vacations, etc. However, every year this week is such a mix of emotions for me. I am happy to see the summer come, but I am going to miss seeing those smiling faces everyday. Teaching has its rough days. Let's face it...you have to be "on" all the time, but it is so amazing to see how much the grow in a year.

We have been finishing out the year with our ABC Countdown. I started talking about it in our last post. Here are the rest of the days:

K- Kindness to Animals Day (Bring a stuffed animal to read with)
L - Lollipop Day
M- Mother's Day Surprise (Mother's Day Surprise, I think next year I will make this Muffins with Mom)

N- Nifty Numbers Day
O- Odd Socks Day
P- Poetry Day
Q- Quilt Day (create a friendship quilt)
R- Read/Red Day (I think next year I will do a Reader's Theater Day)
S- Sunglasses Day
T - Twins/Triplet Day
U- Uniform Day
V- Vacation Day
W - Write a letter to my next year class
X - X-tra centers day
Y- Yellow/Year End Cleanup Day
Z - Zip up your bags and Zoom home day

I haven't taken many pictures lately since I have been packing up and completing the numerous tasks asked of us at the end of the year. Here is a picture though of the Mother's Day craft I did with my students. Thanks Pinterest!
