Famous Artists and Sudoku

The Ladybugs are using the final days of school to learn about famous artists.  So far we have learned about Rothko, Kandinsky, and O'Keefe.  Our math mentors came to class today to help us try our hand at sudoku.  The kids did a great job figuring the puzzles out!

Last posting of the year

It is hard to believe that the school year is over.  The children have grown so much since September.  It's hard to remember how little they were then.  Now they are ready for kindergarten, more than ready!  They will take kindergarten by storm!  They are bright, articulate children.  They are thoughtful and giving.  They are resourceful and dependable.  They have the potential to be whatever they want and to do anything.  I wouldn't be surprised to hear in 20 years that several (or all of them!) of them have done something really special.  Seabury is proud to have been part of their early education.

See how much they've grown!  I'm going to miss these guys!

One more butterfly picture!

Too good to pass up!

Beach Day

So, Beach Day didn't turn out quite the way we had planned.  The bus was out of commission and the weather wouldn't cooperate, so we made our own fun!

The middle school kids painted feet.

It looked like chaos, but it was organized chaos!

We invited our friends to come join the fun.

There was paint and water everywhere!

A few teachers stopped in to chat.

                                                                                     

We read with parents

and middle schoolers!

We released the butterflies

Some even landed on us!

It was a good day!

Our time together is getting short!  We're cramming in as many things as we can!  I'm never quite ready to turn my kids over to the next teacher so we'll make the most of our last week together.

Visitors, performance and play!

Visiting 8th graders spent some time in our room.

Field Day

you just don't know how much fun a parachute is!

and the scooter board obstacle course was good, too!

It's been a terrific week!  We spent some time with our graduating 8th graders, welcomed a new baby to our Seabury family, performed in the music program and had field day.  The music program was wonderful and the children were adorable!  Field day was lots of fun and the sun even came out!  We're in the home stretch of the school year now, only 2 weeks left.

Grandparents and Special Friends

Our oldest Lower School kids are terrific cheerleaders for our youngest kids!

Listening to the books we wrote.

So many smiling faces and proud children!  The Ladybugs have been hard at work the past couple of weeks putting their finishing touches on their hardcover books.  For some reason a hardcover book seems more important than the soft cover books we have written in the past.  The kids planned, illustrated and dictated stories about mermaids, dungeons, carnivals, friends and dogs.  It was hard work!
