On Tuesday we had a visit from the architects who designed our school. They did a great presentation comparing the building of our school to the building of a plastic bottle school in Guatemala. They enjoyed seeing the sample of a plastic water bottle wall that the TAG enrichment group has been working on.
On Wednesday, our early release day, we enjoyed visiting with our kindergarten buddies, checking out books from the library (for the last time this year), rehearsing for Friday's assembly, and Skyping with Adam Flores from Hug It Forward. The kids had great questions for him, and really learned a lot.
Of course, Thursday was our field trip and thank goodness the rain held off. We picked up trash along the Brushy Creek Trail, had a picnic lunch, and then did a nature scavenger hunt. It was a great trip, but wore us all out! Special thanks to Mrs. McQuillen, Mrs. Kyriazis, and Mrs. Cockreham for chaperoning.
Friday's assembly went perfectly, I was so proud of all of the participants. I think we really got our message across about reducing plastic waste!
I was so spoiled for Teacher Appreciation Week. Thank you to my whole class for the beautiful thumbprint tree, I will treasure it always!! And I will certainly enjoy using all of my gift cards in the weeks to come. But the best part of the entire week were the sweet notes from my students. Thanks are never expected for a teacher, because I would do this job without it, but it sure feels great to be so appreciated!
Whew - I am worn our from this busy week! Next week should be back to normal...well, as normal as we can be with only 4 weeks left of school! Have a great weekend, and Happy Mother's Day.
