During a discussion about items being taken home at the end of the year, someone asked who would take our calendar home. I knew that students enjoyed drawing pictures to reflect what we did each day, and loved looking back to see what we had done in previous months. However, it wasn't until this moment, when a few children looked horrified at the realization that they might not be the recipient of our beloved calendar, that I really understood the significance of these pieces of paper. These pages document so many 'firsts' for them, as well as many happy memories. There is joy, wonder, adventure, friendship, and growth that fill these pages. They document the collaborative energy and experiences this group had throughout the school year. I took a picture of each calendar page on our last day at school and promised the kids that I would share them in a way that would allow everyone to have a copy. If you wish, simply right click on these pictures and save them to your computer. This goes for all of the other pictures from this year as well, of course! I encourage you to save any pictures you wish to keep.
This will be the final post for this year, so feel free to 'unsubscribe' to the post updates to avoid receiving them again in September.
Thank you again for all of your support this year!
