The kids had open house at school last night. It was pouring rain outside and crowded inside, but we had fun. We started in Eve’s classroom where she showed me all the options for “choice time” and showed me the play kitchen. Lex plopped right down to read a few books. They both ended up playing with these shape pieces and I had to drag them away so we could get to Lex’s room before the end of the night.

In Lex’s room he showed me some projects his class is working on, including raising mealworms as part of the life-cycle unit. He has his own mealworm named Squirmy.

Lex’s hopes and dreams involve learning more about mealworms. He cracks me up! :)

On the way out we stopped at the school counselors table to make emotion faces. Lex actually chose to run around in the gym for awhile, but Eve wanted to make a face. She decided to make a sad face. They were supposed to leave them at school, but she asked if she could take hers home and of course the counselor said ok.

Do you know why he’s sad? (picture Eve with her authoritative way of saying things and her little head bop) Because he’s sick and because he has staples in his head! She cracks me up! :) Her counselors got a good laugh too.

Then we read a fun book in the art room and headed home after the principal announced over the loudspeakers that it was getting late and the teachers were all tired and needed to go home and go to bed.
