I've learned that as the oldest teacher at my school:
1. I have the most "stuff" to put away!
2. It takes me more time to do it!
And now,
Three more piles to sort through, piece by piece.
Our menu included:
Chocolate Eclairs
Lady Fingers with strawberry jam
Tiny tarts with Lemon Curd
White cake, thanks to Little Debbies, sliced in half!
Cucumber Sandwiches
I gave the students recipes for scones and making lemon curd. There just wasn't any time to bake the night before. Our menu was super easy and just right for kids.
Nothing fancy, but a nice
The End Activity!

Sounds like fun! I never had tea time when I was in school but oh so long ago :)
Have a good weekend!

Marilyn - this is so fabulous - I want you for my teacher!
OH, I love that you did that for your students..how sweet! I love scones and lemon curd!
I adore my little washtub caddy...I've been wanting one for a long time! My mom used to wash my clothes on a wringer washing machine too. As a matter of fact, I have a LARGE scar on my arm from where I got it stuck in the wringer washer when I was little. :-/ I guess I was a nosey little girl that stuck her hand into places that they shouldn't have been! lol
Have a great summer!

It's all over except the mess!! Time to relax a little. Sally
What a lovely way to finish the school year! I'm sure that they will remember their tea party for a long time to come :)

Oh Marilyn, what fun! Tell me how you made your cucumber sandwiches! I remember my two youngest children had the same 4th grade teacher. She had them choose a poem and recite it from memory at the Mother's Tea before the school end. I was so proud of both of them and enjoying a quiet moment to reflect on their lives was much fun with other moms! Have a beautiful summer! Hugs Anne
Now I hope you get a nice break! What a fun event for the end of the year!
Wow, is school already over!! What a great teacher you are! Now you get to enjoy your summer!

I betcha those boys will NEVER forget you and that tea. My brother's favorite teacher was his 4th grade teacher and she was the oldest at the school. Take heart...my favorite teachers for my kids were ALWAYS the ones looking at retirement. The new ones...um...well I thought I knew more than they did. Enough said.

Hi Marilyn...
Ohhh...that is soooo neat that you did a "TEA" with your students. Isn't it funny...one would think that the boys (at that age) would enjoy such an event. That's awesome!!!
My friend, I know exactly how you feel. I am sooo slow these days. Hope you get your school business finished up soon so you can move on to your summer. What did you decide about retiring? Just curious. Sorry to hear that you had to see the dentist as well. Ohhh boy...this has been quite the ordeal for me. It seems that everything that could have gone wrong with my dental surgery/work...did. Thank God for prescription pain meds...I literally lived on them for 3 wks. I am finally down to just taking Ibruprofin...and I do think that works the best. Sending prayers your way, dear friend! Feel better so that you can enjoy your summer break!
Love ya,
Chari
Ooops...just me again.
I meant to type..."that the boys (at that age) wouldn't enjoy doing tea. Sooo awesome!
Love ya,
Chari
That is so cool! You sound like an awesome teacher, my friend!
What a lovely way to end the school year. Wish I had you as a teacher, wish I had you as my son's teacher, not just for the splendid repast but because I know in my heart you are a great teacher.
The end of this school year brings big changes for us, as our youngest graduates high school, another graduates college, and a nephew graduates from the Air Force Academy! Congratulations on another successful year teaching, you have my respect.
