Open House!!

Today was Drew and Jacob's first open house at school. And I will just go ahead and tell you now, that in the frenzy to get out the door, as we were running late (per usual) I left the camera on the kitchen counter. So there are no pics. LAME, I know.

Anyway, they were so proud to show off all their work, their rooms, and different centers that they get to use each day. There is a kitchen center, and they actualy participate in making real food. There is a computer center, art center, book center, etc. They get to do so much. And while I have been in their classes before, I never really got to see all that they get to do each day. I was really impressed with how many resources are available to them to apply to their learning. In a way that they find easiest for them. They get a certain amount of time each day to go to whatever center they would like.."centertime" and of course thats their favorite. Drew said he always pics art (no surprise) and Jacob hops around all of them. We have had parent teacher conferences this week as well, and the teachers are just floored at their artistic abilities, and how smart and sweet they are. I was a glowing mother tonight for sure as we walked the halls of the school, and saw their work hanging up on display. I am so proud of them! After the open house, we skipped over to the gym for book fair! It was a fun nice treat for the kids....Grace even got to get a book, and she was THRILLED! She didnt want to leave!

I am so thankful for these sweet children that I have been given. I am so proud of them. They are excellent students and really love to learn. They take pride in it too, and I like that they feel a sense of accomplishment. I, however, am feeling more accomplished i think!

I'm done bragging now!
