Last Week of School 2012

Maxwell's last week of school flew by!  Actually, the whole school year flew by!  My reign of Homeroom Mom is over and I will be the first to say, "I'm glad".  It was a lot of fun, but lots of work and very time consuming.  Maxwell and I made the teachers a crayon monogram a few weeks ago and we gave that to them on Tuesday.  I got the idea from our friend Mary Frances who had made one for her teachers and they came out so cute.  She actually made her monogram without the paper on the crayon and it looked very vibrant.  With lots of hugs and tears, I knew the teachers appreciated it.  


Picture without the shadow box.  I kept getting a glare on the pictures I was taking.  So I needed Art to take the picture, but he was in Chicago the weekend we made this.

The Moving Up Ceremony was very sweet.  A typical Montessori class has 3 grades in one classroom.  Each Kindergartener was paired up with a 3rd grader and then they took their place in the class as the 3rd grader moves on to 4th grade.  Maxwell said he was happy he was paired up with a boy because he didn't want it to look like he was getting married.  I cracked up at that!

 Afterwards, we enjoyed refreshments and a DVD of the kids.  One of the questions they asked the kids was "How would you change the world?"  Maxwell's response was, "I would make cooler animals like two-headed lions."  I'm not sure how this would change the world, but everybody did laugh!
