Lights Out!

Last night at about 4:30 pm we lost power...so much for cooking dinner. Plus we lost our TV, Internet and phone since they are all connected together.

So we grabbed a bite to eat at Taco Bell and then went to Beth and Oscar's to hang out.

Today Jacob wanted to take the praying mantis to school to show his class. Hopefully that is going well.

This morning I attended a meeting for parents of Iroquois Point Elementary School. It was about the new International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program the school is putting into practice. It is about a 2 year process to get it all going. It teaches students differently to prepare them for the world ahead. There is one private school on Oahu, Le Jardin, that has the program and IPES will be the first public school. You can find these schools all over the world and they all teach the same principles and it goes through High school. One thing they are implementing is Spanish starting at the 2nd grade level, the parents voted on which language. It is all very interesting. It's just another reason we LOVE this school!
