Last full week of school, last field trip – Let’s hear it for the teachers!

Today I volunteered for my second graders’ field trip. It was her last one for the year and the last one at this school. She moves onto 3rd grade in the fall, which in our town is a different school. The trip was right up the street from their school – Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge – and it was great to see the kids exploring and making observations. It was also a hoot to see some of the kids’ reactions! I have to give her teacher and the assistant teacher credit for their patience (especially with 20 kids near a pond of water!) They really are kind and gentle and were reminding the kids not to throw mud, dirt, or step in the ponds! I do have a great deal of respect for our teachers as it seems like a very difficult job getting the kids to focus on the last week of school. Plus with so many little personalities in the classroom I am sure patience is a must – which they both have a lot of!! Let’s hear it for the teachers and the tough job they do everyday. I hope all of our teachers enjoy their summer vacation!

Can’t be in two places at once! End of the school year rush

SO school is almost out and I really wanted to get in some last minute volunteering as both my kids are moving on to new schools. In our town we have grades k-2 in one school, 3-5 and then 6-8. My youngest is heading to 3rd grade and then middle school for the older one (ugh!) Between field day, challenge day, chorus concert, foreign language concert, 2nd grade party, cafeteria duty (or as us moms like to call it pee patrol!) I am running around like crazy! Throw in a few birthday parties, make-up soccer and lacrosse games and charity bike ride and I think I need to clone myself! (did I mention I have to work too?) How do you handle the end of the school year madness? Do you split it up with the hubby? I should learn to say no more. Instead I will be a ball of stress these last few weeks of school and then take a breath when our vacation arrives. Whew!

Activity mat, make-up case, carryall in one? @layngo

Looking for a new make-up bag or storage for your kids Legos? Try the Lay-n-Go! Lay-n-go is a 5 foot diameter activity mat that coverts to a satchel allowing for quick and easy clean up of toys. There is a smaller Lay-n-Go Lite which is a smaller, personal activity mat and a Lay-n-Go “cosmo” cosmetics bag. It is great for storing small items and for on the go activities where you need a mat too. They call it their activity mat, cleanup, carryall and storage solution in one (yeah, finally!)  This was a great solution for me as most days I am dumping the contents of my make-up case on the bed, counter or wherever I am to do my make-up. It wipes clean and is a much more functional cosmetics bag. Plus, perfect for those annoying little toys like polly pockets!

 

New and improved make-up bag!

Disclosure: the company sent me the Lay-n-Go cosmo for review. All opinions are my own.

What a great weekend to kick off the start of summer. The kids already saw one summer blockbuster movie!  We do have a few more weeks of school left (ugh!)  and that is what we talked about this week on 980 WCAP-AM.
