Isaac's Car Day!

So, in conclusion of Isaac's first grade year, the first graders have been having many fun adventures for the last month. They attended the Hamblin Farm where they learned about all kinds of farm animals and tasted fresh cow's milk!!! (Isaac came home with is first bad sunburn of the year but other than that he loved it.) They went to the Hogle Zoo where they saw the new "Madagascar Exhibit" and rode the train of course....and lastly, in their adventures they held the "Annual Car Day" at school. Isaac worked really hard with Dad in constructing his very own car out of a cardboard box! He even helped do the cutting and painting of all the necessary items. He of course wanted his car to be purple ( his favorite color). He is so proud of that card board car that he made with his Dad:) He took it to school and had a blast! They wore their cars and visited different stations where they played games, earned treats and learned about car safety. After a very hot day out in the sun, the Fire Department came with their water truck and the kids took off their cars and went out into the field to be rained upon, and cooled off of course, by the Firemen:) This I think was his favorite part of the day. Isaac came home beaming and showed us an award he won! He won the award for best workmanship on his car. He is so proud and excited. Tomorrow they will have their field day in which he is very excited about as well...and then, Friday, he will have his last day of first grade! I can't believe that our first ever first grade year is at its close. Bittersweet I would say! I sure enjoyed being so much a part of this year with him as i spent many hours in the classroom with him and his schoolmates. His teacher has been the best thing ever and I am so grateful to her and her wonderful teaching abilities. Isaac sure has grown a lot this year and teachers are such an important part of that:) SO here is to Isaac and his first grade year:)
