The last week of second grade 2017

This was a very fun, busy week.  Each day this week, someone said "This has been the best day!"  I agree...each day was better than the last.  Here is a snapshot of the week:

 Monday:
Skating at Oak's Park - this was amazing - the kids showed such perseverance - they fell down, then got back up again. And who knew so many parents were such great skaters!  Thanks for the help!

 Tuesday: Walk to Crystal Springs Garden: Thanks to Mrs. Neff, we all had bags of corn to feed the ducks - a great Blue Heron was also there to witness the fun!

 Wednesday we hung out at school - and had TECH DAY!  That was hit with the kids!

Thursday, the final day.  We enjoyed a quiet morning, then we enjoyed a magic show!
