Slammer car game

Children have a tendency to push us and keep us on our toes. One of the girls wanted to play the "mailbox game". The only way that I have used that game before was to give the kids a picture and they put it in the correct letter sound. These girls are way past that so I had to get creative. I made up some "letters" to mail out of cardstock, then I wrote a "slammer car" for and address on the houses. I said the word orally and they put the "letter" into the correct spelling.

Graduation Day

Wow!It couldn't have been better. The weather was perfect, the kids did great and I think the parents loved it.
As it turned out, the graduation day was the same day as the last game of the Stanley cup Playoffs, in some ways that was good as our program was very short and I think everyone was glad to be on their way home.
It was a good thing that we didn't have to fit into my living room, as there were about 20 people in all.
We started with the readers theatre and I think everyone enjoyed it, the children had no problem reading their lines.
Next on the program I gave each one certificate. Two of the children skipped about 10 lessons and they actually didn't complete the program, so I just gave them a paper saying "good job, etc etc.".
After the short program each child got an ice cream cone and the whole thing was over in 30 minutes.
I was very pleased with the entire ceremony.
