One more week

How is it possible that Sam only has one more week of first grade? It is going so fast. Last week I said to Sam, “I can’t believe you only have two weeks of school left and then you are done at the SLC!” She looked so sad. 🙁 For the last 10 days of school, they are popping a balloon each day that has a paper inside with a special activity. It has certainly made things a lot more fun for Sam. Here is what they have done so far.
10. Marker day – they were allowed to use markers all day instead of pencils or crayons
9. Choose own seats – they were allowed to choose wherever they wanted to sit, and switched off about 3 times
8. Lunch with teacher – they all ate with Mrs. Hall in the classroom
7. No shoes – they wore no shoes all day!
6. Read outside – they went to 6 different places outside for reading, the rooftop garden, the alphabet walk, and tons of other fun places
5. Movie day – they got to choose which movie (of 3) they wanted to watch and then went to the appropriate classroom to watch it
Today was my last lunch volunteer sign up. Sam was really excited that I came because her job for the week was lunch cart which means she gets to bring the lunch cart full of her classroom’s lunch bags into the cafeteria. She wanted me to watch her bring it back to class. Here she is, doing her job!
Sam’s end of year party is next week and I keep thinking that it is going to be the last time I am at that school – ever. It kind of freaks me out. I felt that way when she was done preschool too though, and I adjusted quickly. How did the time go so fast? I am going to really miss that place. I know Sam will too.
