With the school year ending this week I am inspired to get a few things on the blog and brag about my kids and their wonderful school just a little. Landon has been in three schools in his elementary career and his current Cali school is by far the best. From the programs (4 day science camp nearly killed me but Landon loved it), to the teachers, the events, to the importance put on music and art. A couple months ago (yes, I am horribly behind on posting) the entire 5th grade participated in colonial day. Each student was assigned a historical character (Landon was King George III) and had to memorize a little speech then dress up...at the end they all acted out famous battles. It was adorable. And over three hours. Miraculously, and with the help of a fully charged iPhone, Layla sat quietly for the whole thing!
Family Day!
In May Layla's teacher put on a family day which included coffee (starbucks!), breakfast, games, songs, and even a little family photo area complete with paper moustaches on popsicle sticks.
Chillin with her pals during game time on family day.
Two weeks after family day the entire school held their open house. And Layla's teacher went all out again to make it a great experience. Also, like me the woman is addicted to Pinterest, therefore we all enjoyed some adorable cupcakes.
At least once a month each classroom participates in what they call "Hands on Art." They bring in someone to show the kids certain techniques. They entire gym was filled with artwork from every grade. Lots and lots of art on our walls right now. :)
Landon and his teacher. She was tough but really really good at helping him express himself through his writing.
At open house I told him, "Go stand by your college project," and this is what I got. My boy loves attention. :)
