On May 22nd, a good friend of mine who was the homeroom Mom in 4th grade class planned an end of the school year party for the kids. She invited me to come which I gladly did. I always want to see my children in school. I used to volunteer but I didn't do it with this school year because of the many things we were busy at during the move to our new home. I miss seeing the kids regularly. Maybe next school year, I will be able to depending on the projects that we are doing at home.
But anyway, back to the party I was talking about. This is why I like the school where my children goes to because the population is small so it's a tight knit community where most of parents knows everybody. It is also advantageous for the kids because the teachers can really give each students an ample of time to hone their skills and academic development. I love that they don't only focus on academics but also spiritual and social aspect as well.
We served the kids Jojo potatoes, chicken strips, and fruits and veggies. I still remember when my son just started kindergarten, everyone of these kids were little but now they are growing up. Some of them are taller than me already, whew. That's why I am called the Tiny Mom with a camera lol.
My son is very happy that he found a best friend in this guy. EJ said that he is lucky that Josh transferred to their school because they get along so well.
This year, the school is incorporating some new gadgets in the classroom. Each students will have their own Chromebook. It is a mandatory thing. I am thinking of buying my kids their own instead of paying for what the school has, we will just need to pay for the technology fee. This way, they can have their Chromebook back and use it again the next year if it's still in good condition. I dunno, I am just weighing the pros and cons. I will decide when it's time. I am starting to look for deals online. Any tips on Chromebook?
These kids are growing up right before my eyes.
Right after the party, I stuck around in the classroom. The teacher was probably wondering why but we planned a secret baby shower for her since she is pregnant with her first baby. The 4th grade parents came together and brought some snacks and gifts.
One of the Moms made these drinks, I thought they were cute. She said she saw the idea on Pinterest.
The homeroom Mom made these cupcakes as well.
It was a nice little set up. We put all of these together when the class and the teacher was in the other room. We talked to one of the teachers to work with us on this so it would be a complete surprise for her and it turned out great.
Getting pregnant for the first time is very exciting but it also comes with a big expense so having a baby shower is a way to get some things that you need when the baby arrive.
My son's teacher is very nice, she made learning so much fun that all of her students love her. I think that's the kind of teacher every classroom should have.
The homeroom Mom had one box of diapers and each of the diaper has writing of the students on it. Messages like "You're cute but this stinks", "Dad it's your turn" and all that funny stuff that would make Mom and Dad smiles when they are changing the baby's diaper.
I did not buy any gifts because I know that all of the Moms that's attending are and I know that at some point, there will be doubles or similar things that she will get so I just bought a gift card, that way she can buy whatever she still needs for herself or the baby.
My son is very fond of her teacher and he is so excited that she is having her first baby.
Boys will be boys, it's fun to take pictures of them.I wish that I could have gotten the Darling Voxbox from Influenster a day early before the baby shower, I could have given her the baby stuff that was in there.
The baby gentle moisture tearless shampoo and wash from Live Clean would have been perfect to use when the baby arrive. I will just give this to a friend who just gave birth to a beautiful baby girl as well.
Warmer weather means outdoor activities. I am always outside working on things with the kids so having a energy gummies to take after I ate breakfast is awesome. I am down to 6 pieces since I got this and it really keep my energy high while working in our yard or doing something with the kids.
The Darling Voxbox includes a coupon for one tub of of Country Crock butter. My daughter love to bake and she definitely put it to good use which makes my son very happy as he love the oatmeal cookies that his sister makes.
There is also a sample pack of the Duncan Hines Perfect Size for one which she devoured for herself lol.
I also love the Therapy session hair mask from Eva NYC. It's a deep conditioning treatment that repairs and strengthens dry and damaged hair.

How nice that they have a party like that!! My kids class each has a small celebration today, their last day, but no outside food is allowed into the school, so it's mostly just games and movies.
ReplyDeleteIt's so much fun to celebrate the end of summer with good friends and classmates. Summer break is such an exciting time for kids. I still remember the thrill of the last day of school before summer break.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun party to celebrate the end of fourth grade! I love the bottles with drinks in them since the teacher is pregnant. How cute.
ReplyDeleteHow awesome that you threw a surprise baby shower! I bet she was thrilled! That was a fantastic way to close out the school year and kick off summer?
ReplyDeleteAww what a lovely end to the school year it looks like everyone had an awesome time and all that delicious food!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe the school year is almost over. It feels like the year just flew by. It's so important to take plenty of pictures to remember all these special moments.
ReplyDeleteIt is that time of the year already. My Son has been talking about his class end of year party. I am making them some cupcakes for it.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a sweet party and "shower" for the teacher! I'm sure she appreciated it. I think buying the kids their own Chromebooks would be a good idea because they can reuse them.
ReplyDeleteWow what a fun time. It looks like everyone in the classroom gets along and really enjoy being together. Fun time for a great group of kids
ReplyDeleteIt’s wonderful to have a farewell. It just celebrate both the end and beginning of things. Seems like you had a great party!
ReplyDeleteI love Influenster program! I received a few high end cosmetic products from them!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a lovely end of year party. I bet the shower made the teacher feel very special and appreciated.
ReplyDeleteWe didn't have such events back in our times. Children these days are definitely unaware of the part of heaven they life in. 😇
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like the party was a hit and I love you had the surprise baby shower for the teacher. The Voxbox I am going to have to look into I now they send great products. Thanks for sharing this awesome party and the awesome products you received in Voxbox
ReplyDeleteI heard of the Darling Voxbox and its amazing. I am loving it is a box of full sized products!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful little community you live in. I also grew up in a small community and it makes all the difference.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun party to celebrate the end of the school year and your child's amazing teacher. Sounds like Voxbox is a great resource for families!
ReplyDeleteAww this was a lovely post, so nice that she threw a party for them all then thy surprised her with one back! Not sure I like the idea of gadgets in schools, I can see why its a good idea but not everyone can afford to be paying extra for it so I think it may cause some issues. I know it definitely would round where I live
