2nd Grade End of Year Party

Mrs. Roach's class has a pet frog so that was the theme for the party.  Mrs. Roach was kind enough to take on the activities so I could be at the kinder party with my younger son.  She took the students outside for water games (balloons, sponges, etc.)  As a party favor, I purchased $1 frisbees for each student from Michaels which they took outside as part of their outdoor fun.  They were green and pink and I added a label with a frog that said Mrs. Roach's 2nd Grade Class 2011-2012.  After the games, the class came inside for "brunch"...donuts, bagels, fruit and water.  After they ate, they sang a few songs to thank the parents and we ended the party with a song for Mrs. Roach thanking her for all she did this year.  The students got to take home a frog keychain and frog balloon along with their frisbee.  Mrs. Roach got a few gift cards as well as an apron with the silhoutte of each student on it.  It was very sweet!
