May Day 08




Every year Grant Bowler Elementary School holds a May Day Dance and every grade performs a dance for the audience. It is very cute and a fun tradition that has been going on for a lot of years! The night started with the 5th graders braiding and unbraiding the maypole and doing a tinickling dance.

The cute little kindergarteners were next with their parachute dance. Shaney was cute she was trying to hide behind a classmate while walking onto the dance floor. It was a windy night but none of the parachutes or kindergarteners were blown away! The 1st graders were next, they had animal hats and tails and danced to "I like to move it, move it!" Jerrick was totally not in his comfort zone, but he was cute! After the 2nd graders, Daesha and the 3rd grade class came on skipping with their partners and performing a square dance to "cotton-eyed-joe" ! It was funny because they all complained about having to dance and hold hands with a member of the opposite sex. I will be very happy to remind Daesha of this fact in a few years! The night ended with the 4th graders jiving to "Stayin Alive" !! It was fun for the whole family, but especially for me because I just had to sit and record and take pictures. John and Jerrick went on a father/son campout on Friday to Saturday and the girls and I watched movies and had a girly night with the neighbors. Saturday Daesha had a softball game at 6 and it lasted forever!!! I think softball has to be the most boring sport ever and very slow!!! This week starts teacher appreciation week at the school so I will be busy all week washing teachers cars, feeding them lunch, and helping with their classes! Tomorrow I officially take over my PTA duties, and I don't know what I got myself into, but hopefully it won't be too bad once I get the paperwork and list of duties. Shandra's 6th birthday is coming up quick! She is having a beach themed party on may 17th probably around 1 or 1:30 because Jerrick has a softball game at 10 am that day! If you can make it come have some splashin' fun with us!!!
