6-8-10
..It feels like such a perfectly numerical day not to blog about something so here is a wrap up from my cell phone pictures over the last 2 days of end of school fun with Eden's class.
Hard to believe Friday is her last day and I'll have a 2nd grader on my hands. Ekkkk!
Of all the fun & memories, one I'll hold dear
AND
I'm sure I'll feel like this every year, but it seems next year's teacher doesn't have a chance at being as good as her teacher was this year. We feel so blessed for the experience Eden had in her first year of all day school. It was the perfect class and atmosphere for her with the kindest little girls and really involved and compassionate herself, teacher. Her school counselor spends the entire year teaching each class a monthly trait on compassion or encouragement or responsibility, etc.
And the "Bucket Filling" concept is out of a really cool children's book about depositing INTO others lives rather that TAKING OUT of others lives. It hit home and made sense to Eden.
I REALLY love her school.
They each had their own laminated paper buckets and all throughout the day if they saw something someone did kind or if they saw someone needed encouraging; they could grab a little note and write something to put in that person's BUCKET to FILL THEM UP!
Of all the fun & memories, one I'll hold dear
AND
straight in front of my FACE during my girls' next "squabbling".....
is the following award that Eden got.
(She said 3 or so kids got it....I couldn't care less if 15 kids got it!!. I'm a MOM! It's nice to have others eyes and insights about your kids while you're sharing your "baby" with them 7hrs a day.)

Elle, Eden, Edyn, and Jadyn
on their way out the door with the classroom banner for 3hrs of Track and Field game fun.
I'm so grateful my friend Becky and mom covered my daycare for me and let me be apart of such a fun day and memory.
I'm sooooo grateful I didn't have to miss out on this.
Eden and Kalei moments before getting soaked in the Balloon Toss
Elle and Eden doing the Over-Under Ball pass.
Girls WON by a long shot.
(team work, organization, hand eye coordination, paying attention)
Not nearly wet or messy enough for the boys to give a hoot!
Eden and Edyn beat the entire class (TWICE) in the 3-legged race.
They were VERY PROUD!
Jadyn, Edyn, and Eden....
Little sacks of Potatoes ready for the race
Eden giggled the entire time saying
"I can't see...my hair is going crazy"
(this is actually her coming towards me)
Eden and Jadyn in the Sponge Squeeze Water Relay....They Won.
Bubble Table Slime Time
Room 7 Class Photo....
VERY COOL IDEA...
This poster Eden and the whole school got to sign (Her signature is on the letter b)
will get Fed-Ex'd to Nasa and actually
go up into space with the Space shuttle being launched in September!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And Then today was:
Water Day at the Sprinkler Park
with 90 some 1st graders!!
The squealing never ended and neither did the smiles....
It's so fun to watch Eden doing all these things for the first time as my oldest....Kindergarten doesn't get to participate in all these events so for these first graders it was MAJOR exciting.
Eden & Jadyn in their new classroom T-shirts with their names on the back
"Mrs. Minton-Valley's Room 7 is Blazin'!"
Hallé and mom got to join the fun after lunch time.
(sorry little girl in the pink, i don't know who you are or what you're doing?! I didn't have the heart to say no when she said "Can I be in your picture too?")
Kalei, Eden, and Jadyn "Sprinkler-sitting"
I think my kids actually have to work hard to avoid eye contact in this many pictures!
Eden and Jadyn's very "OWN" STRAWBERRY PATCH
They kept sneaking off the "path" and into the Library's strawberries.... They'd hide every time other kids would come by and let the moms yell at the other kids and then once the kids were gone and moms....they'd go at it again......I mean COME ON....
THEY AREN'T DUMMIES!
WHO WANTS TO WASTE OR SHARE GOOD STRAWBERRIES!!!??
Hallé all ready with rose petals and sunglasses to lead the pack of 100 some people back from the library to the school a mile+ ....she said
"I like that place so much I "frewd" petals on the ground to find a path back tomorrow"
~Don't worry sweetie,
it's momma's summer home!~
