April's events

So I have been terrible at posting blogs lately… Yeah, and by terrible I mean I haven’t posted at all. :) Well I have been super busy. My 2nd grade class has been working on finishing touches for our Literacy Fair. They performed Reader’s theater plays for their parents last Wednesday. They also created books and many other projects that they shared with their parents. My principal and Vice principal also came. I made a video of the students that we watched as well. It was really fun. It was a great culminating activity or my students. They did a great job! They worked so hard and I think they felt great about getting to perform and share their work.
My last student day at school was Friday. I am done!! Yay! I will miss my class, but it also feels so good to be done with my first year of teaching.
This summer is going to be so fun. It’s Dave’s last real student summer. So we are going to try to make the most of it.
We will be going to Florida and on a cruise with Greg and Kami. The cruise is 7 days and it stops in Half Moon Cay Bahamas, St. Thomas, Puerto Rico, and Grand Turk. We are so excited!
So I missed a few things like my birthday! Here are some pictures from the things we have done the last month or so.

Walking around the Lauritzen Botanical Garden. It is right next to our town house complex, we get in free so we walk down there a lot. It is so beautiful! Every few days something new is blooming. There is always a new wonderful smell and new amazing flowers to see. I really enjoy it. :)
