The shool year is coming to an end, and everyone at Albert E. Chapman
Elementary School is counting down, including Mrs. Mallory's third grade
class. In the last weeks of school there is much to be done, from
putting away supplies to cleaning out desks to finding a summer home for
the class pet, Rhoda.
Now -- finally -- the last day is here! Matthew Perez, one of Mrs.
Mallory's students, has a perfect good-bye gift for his teacher, and he
can't wait to give it to her. But when is the right time? Not in the
morning when other kids are giving their gifts. Not during the Last Day
fun of kickball and ice-cream treats. Will Matt get his chance before
the school day is over?
The last Day of School will resonate with all children who know the
excitement, energy, and bittersweet emotions that the final days of a
school year bring.
