Spring Fling

It Was a Great Morning!

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.  ~Psalm 63:1 

Today was Spring Fling day at Asbury!  I usually take the day off from teaching to volunteer to man a game at the Roosters' school.  Since Mrs. Stewart wasn't here and most of the subs were working the Fling, I got the pleasure of helping Mrs. Kerry today.  What a sweet, well-behaved, highly organized class it was!  I was in awe of the way those little six year olds knew exactly what to do and did it without blinking an eye or without incident.  I think that is a true indication of an awesome teacher which I have always believed Mrs. Stewart to be.  

The children had a great time playing games, making crafts, planting flowers, racing against one another and enjoying the fun that is always to be found at Asbury.  I wish I could share group pictures with everyone, but I didn't get permission to share photos of other children, so I had to do some cropping of a lot of my photos.  The quality is not that great b/c all of the pictures were taken with my cell phone.  Sorry.

It was fun to see the strategies the kids came up with to make the games work better for them.  John Ryan is one-handing it here.

This is half the class at the craft station.  I felt okay posting this picture since their faces were away from the camera.  They made the cutest Earth Day craft here.  Mrs. Kerry's group seems to be so calm.  My group was chasing art supplies that were being blown away by the wind.  It was still fun.  

I enjoyed the day with the Roosters and their classmates.  However, my roosters missed their "real" teacher.  Mrs. Stewart and Mrs. Kerry hung the moon.  It seems I am just dangling by a star.  Now, if I could only talk my Roosters into an afternoon nap so I can recover.  :)
