Last bit of School

When we got back to Japan, we had only a few weeks of school left. William's teacher, Ms. Bailey took the option of staying in the US, so her children could stay and finish the year with one less disturbance.

Our 3rd teacher of the year was Ms. Fryday. What a fun lady!

I thought this little egg as a planter thing was funny. William only made one of the eggs have a face.
"Know Your Life Cycles" may never hit Broadway, but it was a very cute play. Some of the kids got to ham it up and it was pretty funny. I came braced to endure an evening of mediocre performance, and was truly impressed!

They did it with Ms. Davidson's class. My friend's son is on the left as Master of Ceremonies!
William got to be a plant (notice the morning glories around him for a costume). Alexandra, the neighbor girl is in orange and is a butterfly.
And William's other role was as a fish. I got to help with these. I love glue, paper and cardboard! William made his, as did Anthony and Carl. I wish you could see the scales on the goldfish. They are backwards!
Then, we had the music presentation for the year. William loves performing!
Usually these things are pretty long, but with other teachers not coming back from the evacuation, it was only their class and short. Whew.
Ms. Fryday's class.
They had a bowling field trip. I went along to punch in the names and get kids started. Some of the kids were pretty good! But they cheat (with the 'bumpers' those guard rails for the gutters).
The very last day, they sang their classroom songs to us. William was star pupil for the day, thus in the rocking chair up front.

We're looking forward to second grade next year!
