Amazing Grace

So glad I walked across the Granville Bridge to the Granville Island Public Market today and caught this Peruvian man playing beautiful music.

Saying goodbye for the summer to favorite teachers

 Emma was sad this morning because school is out and she was already missing Mr. Dodson, who was in his classroom so we said a quick hello/goodbye. He is moving to 3rd grade next year but will do all he can to have Emma in his 2nd/3rd grade loop. It looks like Emma has a great new 1st grade teacher named Miss Lucy, so that's exciting!

 Teacher Rachel is Lily's favorite and today is her last day as she takes a few months off before having her first baby. We gave her a diaper bag stuffed with goodies today. She was touched. They are planning a "play date" at Rachel's to bake cookies. :)

Last day of kindergarten ... where'd the time go?

 The kids are learning about oceans and the different zones. They had to pick an animal to research, type something up that they learned then put the animal and report in the zone they think best fits.

Emma and her pals. These girls are in for some changes with their teacher (it's a two-year looping system) switching to 3rd grade, but they could get Mr. Dodson again for 2nd/3rd. Emma also didn't get into Alameda Arts after school program for next year but Parks and Recreation has another good option and several of her friends do it. Can't believe kindergarten is almost over. Lily moves to the Pre-K building on Monday at Fuzzy Caterpillar, too! YAY!
