May- A Busy Month

Well, I am guessing that you are wondering why Wanda has not posted in over a month. All I can say is School Work. Once May 1 is here, reading assessments, progress reports, requisitions, end of the year meetings, awards nights, and grades is about all that is on this teacher's brain.

Since May has been such a cold month, we spent a lot of time indoors. But now that school is out, and it is finally warmer, I cleaned up the flower beds last week and planted some flowers today. Hopefully it won't freeze in JUNE. Maybe it will, Maybe it won't.
In between the birthday parties, (see posts below), the kids and I made our annual trek to the cemeteries to put out memorial wreaths . Even as a child, I enjoyed going with Mom, Dad, and Grandma Carrie or Grandma Mort to the cemeteries. The trip always had stories and learning about loved ones. I hope to pass this, sometimes lost, tradition on to our children. While there, Grace used the larger stones as benches. She would hop from stone to stone, and say "sit down" or "time to rest." Andrew thought it was neat that Gr. Grandpa Herb was in the army, and that Gr. Grandpa Fred likes eagles like he does. (Fred has an eagle on the corner of the stone.)

Enjoy the next posts to learn more about our Month of May.
