5th Grade Here she comes!

 

 

Think ::

Oh my why do I get myself in such things.  Yesterday a girlfriend and I planned a end of the year party for all the 4th graders.  She is a creative wizard and I can not take any credit for all of this coming together.

We had parents all bring in different summer items to put together in $1.00 buckets that she painted with their names and covered in bright ribbon.  (what will I do when I no longer live by the ribbon outlet?)

• sunglasses
• sunscreen
• summer magazine
• water bottles
• cozie's

We then made all teachers candy lei's to put around their neck while we thanked them and let the 4th graders cheer for them.  I forget how great these are! So easy, cheap and fun.

My friends best idea ever was to have the kids sign a big banner that we can hang in the 5th grade hall on the first day of school next year.  We started out with the idea of buying a white sheet and spray painting it, but ha ha you know me too well.  The spray paint went out the window and gingham check applique took it's place on yellow brushed cotton.  I just did large iron ons for the words.

Even though you are out of the school mode this might be fun for next year.

I love that you said it was your best idea ever. Do you feel that way every time you get a new one?
