Monday: With the start of school just a few days away, I got to go to Gregory, Erin, and Aidan's Open House over at their elementary school. Kelly had clients at the same time. Dylan needed to be over at the high school for Brendan's Open House, so I was asked to fill in and go to "the littles" school with them to meet their teachers, find their lockers, and look around the school.
We started with Gregory because he is in Kindergarten this year, and his time slot for meeting his teacher and seeing around his classroom was first. Erin and Aidan played on the playground while Greg and I filled out his transportation form and got everything done that needed doing.
Greg is beginning Chinese emersion this year, so he has TWO classrooms and TWO teachers. He seems very pleased to have English in the morning and Chinese in the afternoon.
And look at the Chinese dragon at the front of his Chinese class!
We met Erin's teachers next. What was an absolute SHOCK to me was when the Chinese teacher only spoke Chinese to Erin and Erin seemed to understand each and every word! Wow. Impressive. Look at her pretty smile (below).
Erin was most pleased that THIS year she gets to choose where she sits! Her English teacher explained that the seating will change every single week.
What nice classrooms you have, Erin!!
We finally made it to Aidan's classroom, but he didn't seem even a little bit interested in looking around--he was more concerned about finding his neighborhood friend (who is actually in Erin's grade); so he was a bit distracted.
Aidan did allow me to catch a few photos of him AND meet his teacher (for 2 seconds) before running out of the classroom in search of his friend. Sigh.
This is Aidan's teacher's greetings to her new students. How nice of her to show the kids her family.
Meadowbrook actually has two playgrounds: one for the pre-K and Kindergartners (shown above), and one for the upper grades (that playground is behind the school).We were able to accomplish the entire Open House in about 45 minutes! I'm glad I could see all of kid's classrooms and meet their teachers too.
