Goodbye 2nd grade

Finally, today was the last day of school. It was a great day and of course a big event in our house.

The group going to school on the first day!
and today one year older!
we have been so lucky to have such a great big group for her to walk to school with each day.

she wore her annual end of the day t-shirt

and came home with lots of signatures. I guess the hip this this year to write is
HAGS - have a great summer

we passed out lots of gumball jars

and if you ever wonder who is buying those cheesy figurines at the dollar store. that would be me. that make great friend gifts. Annie Kate gave her best friend this one.

her last lunch as a 2nd grader, with a note from mom and dad to come home and find something on her bed.

i put a little end of the year gift on her bed awaiting her arrival.
i finally gave in and bought her a webkinz. stores can't even keep them in here. she is a huge frog fan, so was quite excited. Is anyone elses kids into webkinz?

all that was left in her desk. she used the same pencil all year and now it is a stub!

In traditional last day of school style she got sprayed with silly string and streamers. We took the kids out to lunch and had a little marble slab. It was a great year and I was proud of AK for her transition to a new school.

last day of school shirt.

It may be a month away for most but I thought I would drop the idea in your head of doing a last day of school t-shirt for your child to wear to school to have her classmates and teachers sign.

I did everything with iron on transfer paper, even the polka dots and photos from the year. Little ribbon sewn on the bottom.

Some things to iron on the t-shirt

• Mr. Tom is the Best Bus Driver Ever.

• Best 1st grade teacher sign here _________________

• A first grader today a second grader tomorrow.
• Class of 2007
• Ms. Green (principal) rules.... the school

So keep your eye out for a great t-shirt and some transfer paper.

a large t-shirt we do to sleep in the night before Kindergarten. "Kindergarten here I come" you can obviously do this for any grade even teenagers!
