"The important thing about second grade is that you listen to directions. It's a lot of work and it's kind of fun. We do math wizard. Math wizard is really fun. But the important thing about second grade is that you listen to directions".
Out of all the paper work that came home on the last day of school, I thought this one was the best. Enjoy:)

Official Start To Summer
I made this 8 layer gelatin dessert for Jacob's last day of school.
Saturday we went to our annual Santa Monica Fireworks show. We celebrated Scott's birthday.
We made a Tennessee jam cake with caramel frosting that was a big hit with the crowd.
On Sunday we went Kayaking with some friends in Sunset beach. The weather was perfect, we learned a new skill and everyone managed to stay in their kayak.
Happy Summer!

Fabulous Fables
All the second grade classes performed fables for the parents. Jacob was in a group that performed Listen To Your Father written by one of the students. I took a movie of the fable but it is a silent movie as the children did not face forward or project. It is cute to watch anyway.
The Snail and The Spider by Jacob
One day a spider saw a snail. He said "Wow! You are slow!" The snail said, "Then let's have a race." The next day they did it. The turtle stomped his foot instead of shooting a gun. The spider bolted off. The snail had just finished making fly soup. The spider smelled it and came back and said, "Can I have some?" "Yes," said the snail. The spider gobbled that soup down like mad. He spent almost three hours eating soup. In the meantime, the snail was just passing the finish line. The snail came over to the spider and said, "I won!" The spider admitted that the snail won and they lived happily ever after.
Moral: Slow and steady wins the race.

Toothless
Jacob has been slow-going at losing teeth this year. He had a loose tooth in December and I thought I would be singing that famous Christmas song but it never came out until now. Who knew you could have a loose tooth for 6 months. He has about 3 teeth that are close to coming out so we are going to have some really interesting pictures. Stay tuned.

Volunteer Luncheon
I went to the annual volunteer luncheon with my friend and neighbor Linda. She has been a volunteer at the school since her daughter went there, she is a super volunteer. We had a great lunch and the dessert table had many tempting desserts. We sat with a few of the teachers which I always enjoy. It has been a great year.
