The End of School

Jaelyn has almost survived 180 days of school. She's gotten tired though and cries some morning because she just doesn't want to go anymore. Thursday is her last day. Monday, she had a picnic that I was invited to come too. It was fun. First, they let the kids play water games outside. They paired up and played catch with water balloons. Encase you don't know, 5 and 6 year olds aren't very good at throwing and catching. They got very wet, which was great because it was hot - high 90s. Next Jaelyn's group ran a relay race. They had to get water from one bucket to another using big sponges. The first time, they let the kids run, but after that they made them hold the sponges over their heads and hop. Jaelyn was pretty wet at the end. Because of the heat, they moved the picnic inside to the common area outside the kindergarten classrooms. The rest of the games were held in the gym. The kids got to play with a parachute and have sack races. It was a lot of fun and I'm glad I was able to go and watch.
