We had a very good school year this year! Isabel loved her teacher Ms. Clark. I tried to volunteer every Friday in Isabel's class. Ben would go hang out with Tamina, Sarah and Sam, and sometimes Uncle Jon. (Ben won't just call him Jon... it is always Uncle Jon!) He got to go get vegetables with them and just play. Ben and Sarah are best buddies, especially when it's just them, with no older kid influences . They love to bake with me (pictured below), eat breakfast together and play house.
The last weeks of school were filled with lots of field trips for Isabel. I went to the Tree house with them. We even got to ride on the bus :) At least all of the kids have matching tie-dyed shirts which make it easier to keep track of. (The last day of school all of the kids got to sign the tie-dyed shirts for each other... I thought this was a very cute idea) We had Great-grandma Maxine's funeral, so we missed the zoo field trip, but Isabel still made it to the duck pond, the park, the Hawaii party, and dinosaur park. She was in no way deprived of field trips. At the duck pond, one of the kids in her class threw rocks at a baby duck until he hit it and killed it. I think Isabel was traumatized that someone could just be mean. I was in shock that the kid did it! On another note, there was also field day. This was the only field trip where siblings could go, so since I was volunteering, Ben and Zoey got to come with me :) I was in charge of the basketball game. Ben and Zoey played at the playground right next to the courts. They were so good, but definitely ready to come home after 3 hours :)
Among the field trips, Isabel managed to lose another tooth! This one is number 3! It's amazing all the things you can fit through that hole in the front :)
Isabel had an interesting note in her backpack the day before school was out for the summer. I asked what it was, and Isabel said I would have to just read it, but it was very cool. I was trying to figure out what the teacher needed help with (that's what notes usually were about), so I was very surprised to find out that while the kids were helping Ms Clark clean the toys, Ms Clark fell down and had a seizure and had to be taken in an ambulance to the hospital. Isabel said kids were screaming and crying and that there was blood. I asked what she did. She said that she just sat at her desk, cause that is what Ms Clark told them they were supposed to do. What an obedient child.... well at least at school :) Ms Clark wasn't able to come back for the last day of school,but I found out that she ended up getting 6 stitches in her head and was able to go home to be observed. I'm glad that she is ok. Still trying to figure out why my child thought that her teacher having a seizure was cool...... :)
Ben and I decided to make Isabel a special treat for the last day of school. We made her popcorn with sprinkles! She loved it! We signed Isabel up for dual-immersion next year (spanish), so here's to a fun summer before we start learning spanish and 1st grade stuff all at once :)
