1. Last day with the kids!!!!
They got a fun day. They watched movies, did some skits in character ed, and went to the computer lab. Thank goodness it was a early release day!
2. Teacher gifts
Guess what my middle son's teachers got as a gift this year!

Nice new blue pencil sharpeners! They were thrilled and complained about the ones the school provides. Some of the other teachers also caught a glimpse of them so I was able to spread the word about these wonderful sharpeners!!
3. I am the mother of a high school freshman!
My oldest son was promoted from 8th grade! I cried for him. I also got to see some of my 2nd graders and 5th graders in the ceremony. I was so proud of all of them. I was amazed at how much they had grown up. 3 years ago they were just entering adolescence and now they were young men and women. A few of them I didn't even recognize. I only knew them by name!
4. Awards
Unfortunately I was not able to attend my 1st grader's awards day. There was a schedule glitch so I was at my son's promotion ceremony during my 1st grader's awards. We were even late to my middle son's awards, but we made it! I love my 1st graders, but I have to put my family first.
5. Cleanup and organization continues!
I am about done with my room. I will show my before pictures on Monday because my room will be painted over the summer!!!! This is a good thing! I inherited a mess in my room this year. When my room was made a kindergarten room a few years ago, they created a bathroom. The teacher in the room at that time used tape and glue on a wall of sheetrock. When I walked in last summer 8 months pregnant and little time to get the room ready, my jaw dropped! My oldest son and I managed to cover the wall with bulletin board paper. That wall become my celebration of reflex. I want to do something similar next year just without the bulletin board paper and definitely no tape!!
Check out this giveaway that has only a few hours left!!
