School is out for Bree

Bree has been having all sorts of fun these last few weeks of school.  She has really enjoyed 2nd Grade this year!  She has so many great friends.  She has loved her teacher, and she has done so well in her school work.  One of her friends came over the other day to play, and when I saw her mother again yesterday at the class poetry readings, she told me that she had taken some great pictures of Bree on the field trip, and field day they just had, and asked me if I'd like copies of the pictures.  Too cool.  I love being able to see what Bree's been up to, even though she always tells me all about her adventures!

A couple of weeks ago, they went on a 2nd grade field trip to the Clark Planetarium.  

Here is Bree on the bus, with one of her BEST friends Mersadie.  Mersadie is really shy, and Bree was asked to help her out this year in their school class.  And they have become really good friends.  

Bree, Mersadie, Noa, and Kaiya.

Look Mom, we're on Mars!

Having a bit of fun in the gift shop :)

And some lunch and time at the park afterward.

Then a couple of days ago, it was Field Day!  Eating lunch outside, water and other games.  I'm so glad Noa's mom was able to get some pictures of Bree.

Bree and her friend Gracie in the pool trying to pick up marbles with their toes.    

And Yesterday, Bree's class had a poetry festival.  The whole class memorized several poems to say together, and each child memorized their own poem to recite.  I recored the whole 30 minute program.  Bree has quite a few little friends in her class.  I love that she has so many wonderful kids to hang out with.  Gracie is in her church class and on the soccer team we just signed up for.  I sure hope that some of these cute kids are in Bree's 3rd grade class next year.  

And finally, Bree's teacher.  Mrs. Christensen.  

Bree told me that when she was getting ready to leave today, she ran back and gave her teacher a big hug before getting on the bus to come home.  She said that Mrs. Christensen cried a little today, and didn't want to let her class go.  They've had a great year.  Truth be told, Bree doesn't even want school to end.  She wishes they could go all summer long.  I just love my Bree girl!
