I am the room parent for Jack's kindergarten class and today we got to have a baby shower for his teacher. It was so much fun! The kids played baby related concentration (memory), and cut strings to guess how big her belly was. Surprisingly, most of them were pretty close! The kids ate food and then watched their teacher open presents. Even six year olds say, "Ahhhh, how cute!" when watching baby presents being opened. They also laughed hysterically when she opened a present that revealed diapers and wipes. Oh, elementary school humor!
Jack has had such a good kindergarten experience this year, I'm sad it's coming to an end. His teacher is so great, and he has a really fun class. I've been able to volunteer in his classroom once a week and do the class parties, and really get to know the kids. One little troublemaker even told me I was beautiful today, (this was after he threw a chair after not being able to sit where he wanted, he must have been happy I let him stay at the party.)
Even though I will miss Jack's kindergarten, I am looking forward to a break after keeping to such a schedule with his school, Ellie's preschool and dance, and what not. I'm excited for summer and hoping the weather will soon actually feel like summer!
