End of School Activities

As the end of the school year neared the kids had some fun things planned. James had two field trips with his kindergarten class. One to the zoo and one to Harmon's grocery store. I tagged along on the trip to the store. On this trip we walked to the trax station and rode the train. James had not been on the train in a long time and was very nervous walking on and when it started. He asked to hold my hand even in front of his friends. Happy Mom. But then he realized it felt like you were hardly moving. We rode to Farmington and then got off and walked to the store. The kids got a tour and taste of brownie from the bakery. Then they each got a turn to ring of a few groceries. They loved it. Before heading back we had just enough time to walk to the pet store and check out the animals before heading back. Kindergartners have too much energy!

Emma also had a field trip. One of her classmates Dad works for KSL so they went there and had a great tour. They also got to be on the radio - FM100. Awesome but I missed it. Anyway Emma's whole second grade put on a great program. Most of it was the songs that they had been learning all year. They did great! It was amazing to watch her sing all the songs and do the sign language because she could never remember what she was learning when she got home. So  way to go Emma so much fun.



All the kindergarten classes also did a great performance. James was very cute and had a great time singing all the songs. His favorite song was I love my white shoes.





The last full day of school was field/water day. I volunteered and it was fun and hot and wet. The kids all looked like they had a great time. Most of the games were simply relay race or water fights. There was also water volleyball and an eye spy game in a swimming pool. Fun Fun Fun.






Last Day of School

Both kids were a little sad that school was ending. They both had really really great teachers. James because kindergarten is so much fun and only half day. Plenty of time to still play. Emma was old enough to know that things went really well for her this year and that she would have to leave her teacher. She is a little worried about next year. She wants to stay in second grade with this teacher. He was such a great fit for Emma and has inspired her to be a teacher when she grows up.


Emma's class was having a talent show and this was the talent that Emma decided to show. Her creativity! She built a castle with rooms and lots of details. 

It included a bird house and a Darth Emma character.

No teacher will mark you tardy on the last day of school right?

Mr Paget - the best 2nd grade teacher

Mrs. Foster - the best kindergarten teacher

(She was so great even though she was diagnosed with some form of cancer and was going through chemo the last couple of weeks. We hope all goes well for her this summer. She is still planning on coming back next fall. We hope she is still teaching when Mia is 5.)
