A Fabulous Finish to First Grade

I find it so hard to believe that Hannah is done with first grade. She had a great year...she played hard, grew in grace, made new friends, learned lots, and loved her teachers. We are sad Hannah's school is closing, but we are grateful that so many staff and students are also moving to the new consolidated school. Thank you OCS for four amazing years!

Hannah's fabulous finish to first grade included a fun-filled field trip (wow...that sentence ended up being a tongue twister...you know how much I love alliteration)! I was thrilled to go on the field trip with Hannah to our local botanical gardens/sculpture park and then to an area park for a picnic. It was a beautiful day!

The first and second grade at OCS performed a rock opera called "Stone Soup" during the final days of school. We scoured second hand stores for a costume and Hannah pieced together what she wanted to wear. The performance was adorable...although, we were all singing "Stone Soup" for weeks. :-) Hannah got to play the cowbell. She was all smiles when she got to play.

Somehow our sweet and sassy seven year old is moving onto second grade. Where did the time go? Here she is on her last day of school. Not sure if you can see, but she chose to wear her zebra headband and shoes for her last day - guess she wanted a wild and wonderful end to first grade. We are so grateful for Hannah's homeroom teacher pictured below. We love you Mrs. K! See you at the new school!
