Goodbye Levana, part Two

After a slight delay, here are the rest of the pictures from Abby's last day of school, including her "graduation ceremony." The kids did a stirring rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" (they voted on the choice of song), and then each received a certificate from their teachers. The ceremony was followed by a cake they baked (and decorated) themselves. Looked like the coat of many colors.....

Abby dressed up, with her nails done to match, to celebrate her last day:

Goodbye Levana!

Today is Abby's last day of school, and next year she is off to Kindergarten! We'll have a "moving up" picnic in the park tonight with her classmates, and some will be in camp over the summer, but for some this is our last day to play together.....

Treasure Hunt

Abby's class went on a special treasure hunt. They began by drawing maps to a surprise destination. Amazingly, not knowing where they were going did not hamper their ability to draw a map of how to get there. Next, following "the pink line" on the map, they took a walk through Lee Park (which Abby calls Leaf Park):




The kids spent some time exploring the cannons (good for sitting on), before taking off for their final destination....





Gelato! Oh, the excitement.





Here is Abby holding her map. I think she is trying to figure out how to get home.





Before leaving, the kids had one more surprise....a tour! Shockingly, what is behind the scenes at a gelato store is .... freezers. Who could have guessed?

Ballet Hispanico

For the last theater trip of this school year, Abby went all out. Her class went to see Ballet Hispanico, and Abby wanted to look "the prettiest yet." Here she is showing off her ensemble:
