Two Hoots and A Holler

 Hoot #1

We survived the end of the year festivities!  Everyone had a blast this year at field day.  We participated in 6 races, and at the end of the day the Jitterbugs took 1st place!  GO JITTERBUGS!

 The Rockstars are ready for field day!

Jitterbugs and Rockstars are anxiously waiting to see who is going to win the Popcorn Relay!

At the end of the year, we also have our Kindergarten Portfolio Breakfast and Program.  This is a bittersweet time of year.  We are excited to see our students grow, but don't like letting these precious kids go.  These students worked very hard this year, and we are so VERY proud of all of the growth each Jitterbug and Rockstar has shown this year.  Parents...Thank you for trusting us with your child for 180 days.  Thank you for supporting our class and helping to make this year a success.  We hope that we have instilled the knowledge each child needs to grow up to be successful.  We hope that we have made memories with each child that will forever be imprinted on their hearts.  We hope that in at least one way, we have made a difference in each and every child's life that we have taught.  Most of all we want our students to know that we will ALWAYS believe in them, and they will FOREVER be a part of our hearts.  They will FOREVER be a Jitterbug or a Rockstar!  We can't wait to see what an impact these kiddos will make in the future! 

This Week's Holler...

This week's holler is going out to all of our fellow kinder glitter girls (who are pictured below and the one that isn't in the picture)!!!  Without them by our side, this year would not have been as successful.  Our kinder family is the best!  We always are there for each other, and we are so much more than co-workers, we are sisters.  So to our kinder girls...this holler is for you!  We LOVE ya! 

 

Two Hoots and A Holler: End of the Year Fun!

Hoot #1

It is getting real folks! We couldn't be more excited to be getting our entire classrooms remodeled! We have to have everything packed and out of our rooms by the last day! The boxes are starting to pile and the purging has begun!  Packing normally isn't this exciting or fun...but when you know you will walk into a brand new classroom in August, it motivates you to want to pack.  The best part is, it gives us the chance to really go through some things that have been in our rooms for years and organize them or get rid of them!  We try to do this in the summer time, but sometimes we run out of time.  And let's just be real, we are teachers who have been in these rooms for 14+ years, and we teach kindergarten...so, YES! WE ARE HOARDERS! We know we aren't alone with wanting to hoard and keep everything that we think we will use on that one craft or project we may do next year!  This purge is long overdue!  

Although we pack our rooms every year, this will be the first time in 16 years that our rooms will be completely empty!

Today was Field Day for kindergarten!  There was rain in the forecast, and it rained...but a little rain never stopped us! We moved the races inside and had a blast!  The students were counting down the days until this day.  All the classes had so much fun, and they did so well with participating and cheering on their classmates. Here are some pictures of some of the kids racing...
 

The Jitterbugs were tied with another class for first place!  We had to have a tie breaker race! 

And first place went to..... 

THE JITTERBUGS! 

Way to go!!  Congrats Jitterbugs!  
At the end of the day, we were all winners because fun was had by all, and the teachers survived to tell about it!
