End of the Year Fun!!

Our last weeks of first grade flew by swiftly! There were numerous special activities which gave us all an opportunity to celebrate the hard work and great learning of our firsties this year! Check out the pictures below, highlighting a few of these special events!

The first graders enjoyed a yummy lunch in the Kalona Park thanks to the area businesses.  The students munched on pork burgers, chips, bananas and vanilla ice cream!  Although there were pool facility issues, that did not keep our first graders away from enjoying the warm afternoon.  The Kalona Pool helped provide hoses and sprinklers for the students!  There was also a 'homemade' slip and slide to be enjoyed!!  We hope your little one filled you in on the fun of this day!

We are so thankful to have a great team of staff members who worked together to plan a wonderful field day during our final days at WE! We all had a great time celebrating the end of the school year in our Friendship groups. All students enjoyed lawn games, kickball, wiffle ball and free play on the park equipment. And we wish you could have been there to hear the screams of excitement as first graders discovered the surprise as we returned to school-a two person inflatable obstacle course!

And lastly, thank you to the MANY volunteers who made our "trip to China" possible! Students enjoyed traveling to a museum, eating at a Chinese restaurant, playing some traditional games, ribbon dancing and creating their very own Chinese lanterns.
