The boys played their first duet (solos too of course) for their first recital with their new teacher. We were so unhappy when we had to find a new piano teacher for them, but it really has been great.
These two are brothers - and they are only 22 months apart. They are ages 10 and 12, so when this teacher first came to me with this idea to have them do a duet I really thought she was nuts. Has she met my boys???
But it was soooo cute! They did "Take Me Out to the Ballpark" together, and dressed up in uniform for it too.
Of course the kids are excited about summer break and ready to be done, but the last week of school (even though teacher appreciation week has already past) I always like to give a few last gifts.
My caramel, chocolate, and graham cracker apples - because a caramel apple would just not do it. I gave these to our teachers, and our secretaries who have done so much for me this year.
A photo book of highlights from different parts of the year. It's Cody's teacher's first year teaching so we thought this would be a great way for her to remember how great it was.
We got Jake's teacher a gift card to Barnes and Noble, since he loves to read.
And we sewed Cody's teacher a quilt
it reads Dear Mrs. Edwards, You have been the "Write" teacher for us. Thank you for a great year. Love, Your Class
At the very end we also hand-stitched all of the kids's names
And we made a sham to hold the folded quilt (or a pillow)
