putting the classroom to bed for the year and Bailey's Party!

The 2019 school year is complete. On Friday, we took time to prepare for a  long winter's nap and made sure the room as ready for no inhabitants for just over a week's time. We scurried and hurried to send home calendars, books, cards and ornaments. Earlier in the week, our costumed carolers came to entertain and wow us with their vocal beauty.

It was a busy day, at the time chaotic, but now that I've had some time to reflect, quite lovely.

Here are some photos:

and here are Bailey's party photos:

Peace and joy all around--and this is what we found when we arrived home about 1am:
