Good-Bye Mrs. Carmen!

This Friday we attended a retirement party for Ava's favorite teacher, Mrs. Carmen. All of her past and present students were invited to come. After a slow start, Ava has had a fantastic year with Mrs. Carmen and we are so sad to see her go! She has promised to come back and substitute teach, so hopefully we will still be able to see her around school.
Ava has learned so much from Mrs. Carmen- writing all of her letters and numbers, letter sounds, how to write her first and last name, all her colors, numbers and days of the weeks in Spanish... She has given Ava so much confidence when it comes to learning, which is a priceless gift! We were happy to be there to honor Mrs. Carmen on her last day- I only selfishly wish she would have stayed two more years so that Caitlin could experience her as a teacher!

mmm... Publix cake! :)

Anthony is one of Ava's friends from her class

Ava and some of her boy friends from Mrs. Carmen's class- Danny, Anthony and Cameron

The kids patiently waited for cake! I was pretty proud, they waited almost an hour until it was cut... Caitlin on the other hand kept trying to sneak a finger in the icing (she gets that from me!!)
Good-Bye Mrs. Carmen, we will miss you! Enjoy a relaxing summer :)
