1st Grade Carnival

It's finally here.

The last week of 1st grade.

I can hardly believe this school year is over. It FLEW by. I seriously feel like it was only a couple months ago that we first met Miss Adams at orientation. And here we are, kicking off all of the end-of-school festivities.

And when I say "festivities" I am not kidding!

Yesterday (Friday) was the 1st grade carnival, complete with face painting, carnival games, prizes, food and music. And even though it was raining, the kids had a wonderful time.

Our class was in charge of face painting. And just FYI, if you ever host a carnival for kids, face painting will be the most popular booth so be sure to have plenty of supplies.

Our table had at least 20 kids waiting in line the entire 2 hours.

Here is Payton getting a stenciled face painting:

 

 The finished product! It was called "Rock Out" and it is picture of a person with headphones on.

 Of course there were tons of games too, like the parachute ball toss:

And potato sack races:

And best friends:

 Did I mention face painting? How about tattoos? Yes, these boys were covered by the end of the carnival!

 Next week Payton has all sorts of fun things lined up at school including movie day, book picnic in the courtyard, ice cream sundae party, game day and an awards breakfast. 

I don't think there's going to be much learning going on the last week.

Summer... here we come!
