The Elementary School did something groundbreaking and miraculous this year. Instead of holding Open House in May, when everyone has one million things to do, they held it at the end of March. They called it a work in progress night. It was awesome! Exactly like a regular Open House just at a much saner time of year. We didn't have to rush from class to class or split up because there was another event scheduled the same night. We got to walk through Adell and Colter's classrooms and take it all in.
Colter was first. Will was running late from a meeting at work but he made it. Colter enjoyed showing us around his classroom. I enjoyed hearing him read so well!
Adell went next. Her classroom was bustling. The kids decided to give their parents a day-in-the-life of a third grader. We had to take a timed math test and a spelling test. It was great to see what she has been working on and learning.
Our little Adell was the Star Student this week so we got to see her poster. By the end of the night, however, Adell was bummed. She couldn't quite put her finger on it but I think it boiled down to: the evening didn't go as she had planned. The times table test station was really busy and to save time, Will corrected our test instead of Adell...she wanted to do that. The animal report section had her report missing! Colter was distracting. The room was busy. She was bummed. It was hard to see her sad. Her classroom was amazing and we did enjoy seeing all the third-grade work she had been doing. Life doesn't always go the way we expect...and that's ok.
