Last Day of School: Animal Party


Preparation Day


On Thursday, Jackie and I made a photo booth and cleaned up the classroom. Friday morning all our little animals arrived for the party. They each got a picture with their mom.


Alisha, Juana, and America the bird                                 Raquel and Chui the whale


              Bere and Luisa the butterfly                                     Marce and Mani the dragon   


Jenna and Mili the cat                                                  Hilda and Alexis the rabbit 


Maestra Jackie, the cow and Maestra Laura, the zebra


Me and the butterfly with the food she brought, juice (or nectar) with the pitcher decorated like a flower. Sadly, I didn't get pictures of the other food the kids brought. They each brought something related to their animal.


Getting ready to talk about the animals.

Me and my students. The whale has Jonah in his stomach. :)

The party was a success. We missed Santiago and Corina though as they had come down with the chicken pox. :(


Tadi also had the chicken pox, but by last week was recovering.


I put Tadi back on his bike last week and was very excited to see that his strength seems to be returning. :)


Thursday morning practicing numbers with Luisa. I'm working with her a few mornings this summer to practice the numbers since she hasn't mastered them yet.

Thursday night was graduation for kindergarteners, 6th graders, and middle school graduates.

Each class passed to the front for pictures. 

And the year is complete!

Thankful for a year of teaching, for all of your prayers, for the summer to look forward to, and all of these amazing young people who've come to help.

Please pray that our focus would always be on Christ and that we can bring glory to Him throughout the coming months.
