Soccer Carnival

Soccer Windup Carnival

Seriously this day was COLD! 

Windy, cold and slightly miserable.

Despite the weather the Community Association 

put on a great carnival at the end of the soccer season 

and the kids definitely enjoyed seeing all their 

soccer friends one more time.

Shane Loved playing in the soccer bubbles!

The kids did great too! 

Ms. A liked hanging upside down more than 

actually bumping into anyone or playing the games.

There were lots of fun activities, a bike course, petting zoo, 

Hot Dogs and Watermelon, a gymnastics performance, 

plenty of local businesses and political booths.  

What a great way to spend the morning!

Olympic Sports Day

This was super fun! 

Olympic Sports Day at school.

Shot Put

 

Ms. A of course was off and running with friends 

as this was a self guided activity and the kids went 

at their own pace and chose their own activities. 

Hockey

 

Ms. E stayed pretty close beside me and we 

enjoyed a morning filled with activities.

 

 Steeplechase

 Olympic Art

 Gymnastics

 Rowing

I think there were some that Mr. T 

enjoyed WAY more than Ms. E!

Pancake Breakfast

One of the awesome perks of Shane's summer hours 

being so random is that he can come to things like this!

The End of the Year Pancake Breakfast!

Waiting Patiently (sorta) for our turn to sit in the fire engine!

 

Mr. T felt sooo Cool! 

It was fun visiting with the firefighters and 

paramedics that were there with their trucks. 

Ms. A Thought it was really cool that this Fireman 

had actually only completed his Fireman training 

about 4 months earlier and this was his 

first position in the city. 

Maker Space

This Year Ms. A got invited to participate 

in a program called Maker Space.

Basically its a program for 

self starters and independent workers.

They get to choose their own projects and have 

a dedicated space for their creative outlet.  

For Ms. A this was like Heaven!  

An entire hour to just work on her own 

without rules (mostly) or interruption (mostly).

At the end of the year they have an open house 

where parents and all the students get to 

come through and ask questions.  

All the different projects laid out reminded me 

a bit of a science fair.  

But it was fun to see what everyone was working on 

and see Ms. A's project that she had been 

talking about ALL YEAR!

This gigantic creation is a diorama of a camp.

Complete with Campers, tents campfires, 

the river, outhouses and even a very tall gate.

She learned all kinds of things about 

construction, scale, and material choice.

There were glass beads, Popsicle sticks, fabric, 

tooth picks, sea shells, yarn, paper, cardboard, 

straws, pom poms, plastic cups, tape, hot clue, 

white glue, staples, as well as decorations and 

drawings with colored pencil, markers, and pen.  

Seriously This girls was in creative heaven!!
