Last Day of School

The last day of school has come and gone. Conall will be entering first grade next year. For an end of the year gift for his teacher, Ms. Dorman, he gave her an echinacea plant.
At the beginning of the year Conall argued with Ms. Dorman about the name of the coneflower plant they were planting in the Kindergarten garden. He kept telling her it wasn't a coneflower, it was an echinacea plant. She didn't believe him and kept correcting him. Later in the day, she looked it up and realized that echinacea is another name for the coneflower plant. She was amazed that he knew such a big word and had him repeat it for other adults when they visited the classroom. I think she got quite a kick out of it! So, we gave her an echinacea plant for her end of the year gift. She told Conall that she was going to name it "Conall' which he thinks is really funny!
