Finishing Up First Grade

At the beginning of May, Caden's class (along with three other first grade classes) took a field trip to the zoo and children's museum in Decatur. Grammy came up to take care of Cole and Kieran, so I could enjoy the day with Caden and his friends. The field trip started at the fun playground outside of the zoo, and then we toured the zoo. I was in charge of Caden and two of his classmates. Caden and Amaar stopping at one of the many face cut-out boards in the zoo.

After the zoo and a picnic lunch, we headed to the children's museum. The car is always a popular spot for the boys.

The field trip was a lot of fun. So glad I was able to go along!

On the last full day of school, Caden's school played most of the day. In the morning, the kids were surprised with lots of different large inflatables. In the afternoon, the classrooms had end-of-the-year parties. During Caden's party, the kids played musical chairs and bowling and enjoyed ice cream sundaes.

Very competitive game of musical chairs

Down to the last two...

And Caden was the winner!

Another great school year!
