Our Graduate

Ben's Kindergarten graduation was Thursday- almost one hundred 6 year olds assembled to sing Home on the Range, Dr. Suess I Love You, and What a Wonderful World. :) Ben was pretty excited about it, even with his reservations about first grade. Each one got a little diploma and there was a reception with cookies afterwards.

Magic Tree House

With the gaurentee of another year here in Kansas, it was time to invest in one. I have fond memories of playing in our family play house back in Minnesota. Despite much ongoing drama with the delivery, set-up, and (unfortunetly) the wrong/missing parts...it was funtional this weekend...and the kids love it! They packed up their backpacks with treasures and set up camp up there.

As a final class activity, I taught my ESL students how to decorate flip flops the way my mom taught me. In this picture, we have Macedonia, Lithuania, Montenegro, Malaysia, Turkey, and Germany represented. I will surelty miss this amazing group of women.
