Pinterest Made Me do it #11....

I needed end of the year gifts for Alex's teachers, so once again, Pinterest to the rescue! 
Flowers, doilies, candy & Sharpies from the Dollar Tree and mason jars ($.49 each) from Goodwill:
 
 
 
The bus driver's male, so I tried to make it look masculine (100 Grand candy bars):
 
For the original pins, you can see them in my Gifts board.  Summer vacation has started, yay!

Alex the Author.....

Alex's 4th grade class worked very hard this year writing A to Z books.  Alex chose chemistry, focusing on the periodic table.  They finished the books and had a publishing party.  The students broke into groups of 4 so that they could read their books.  Alex was first:
 
 
 
The other students in the group wrote about hockey players, animals and Disney characters.  It was fun hearing their books.
 
 Alex was blessed with an amazing teacher this year that loved having him in her class, with or without a paraprofessional.  Because of her, he was in her class, the regular classroom for 95% of the day.  We love you, Mrs. Popp:
Today's his last day of 4th grade, it's been a great year and I'm so excited to see what 5th grade will bring!
