School's Out For Summer!

Today was the last day of school! 

Yesterday, we had an end-of-the-year pizza party! 

We had fun signing yearbooks.

Everyone played a bucket toss game!

Today, we continued to sign yearbooks.

Look at the line for Coach Felicity!

We celebrated an incredible literacy milestone. The class read 12 million words this year! 

Way to go!

That's right, 12,000,000 words!  

But, like all good things...they must come to an end. 

When the final grain of sand fell through the hour glass, it was time to say goodbye.

A final group hug before we departed for our summer vacations!

It has been my pleasure to be on this learning journey with you! 

I look forward to seeing you in the fall!

School's Out for Summer!

Today was the last day of school. 

We signed yearbooks, cleaned out our desks, and even cleaned the AlphaSmarts! Thank Alexandra!

Students finished writing on our Memory Board, while others had some final fun with clay and tessellations!

Our Memory Board

Student tessellations

Does this tessellation bug you? (Video destruction coming this summer!)

A delicious sundae for Mrs. Yollis!

Are those new glasses?

One poor student was clayed to his desk!

Mustache Man returns!

As the seconds slipped away on Mrs. Yollis' giant hour glass, some interesting shapes appeared.

 At 12:15, the last grain of sand fell through the hour glass and school was officially over! Although students and teachers enjoy vacations, we will all miss being together as a class!

One final group hug and the third graders became fourth graders!

Here is Mrs. Yollis' annual good-bye video!

What are your plans for the summer (or winter)?

End-of-the-Year Party & Mrs. Yollis' Birthday!

Today was a fun day at school! 

In the morning, the fifth grade students competed against the teachers in a game of kickball! Everyone showed terrific athletic ability and good sportsmanship! Does anyone remember the score?

Mrs. Yollis' students provided a lot of support when she stepped up to the plate!

After the teachers were victorious, the class brought their chairs back to the classroom. It looked funny to see everyone sitting in lines!

Later we had an end-of-the year pizza party! The food was delicious and then parents and students played a hearty round of Silent Speed Ball, a perennial favorite.

Today was also Mrs. Yollis' birthday! Her blogging buddy, Bianca, created a thoughtful birthday post and sent a birthday parcel from Australia! During the party, everyone sang along to a cute Happy Birthday video Bianca embedded in the post! How thoughtful!

Ellie's mom baked these beautiful cupcakes for everyone!

 

What did you think of the day?

Do you think the kickball game should become a tradition?
