Last night from 6pm-8pm was Open House at the boys' school. They were especially excited for Darrick to come because last year he was still deployed for the Open House and he was out to sea this year for the first day of school so he had not yet met their teachers or seen their classrooms.
The evening started off in the cafeteria with a talk from the principal, Mrs. Armstrong.
Our first stop was Jacob's classroom. He was very proud to show us a book he made on the colors and his own "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" tree.
Our second stop was Micah's classroom. He showed us his story that he wrote about his Uncle's wedding and his family crest he made.
Next was a scavenger hunt. Each student got a pink card that had different places that they had to take their parents to. Once we were there, they got a stamp on their card. Today they will turn in their full card in exchange for an ice pop at lunch. We went to the cafeteria, library, office, playground, computer room, PE room, health room and music room!
After that we made a stop at Mrs. Gutierrez' room, who is Micah's GT teacher. We were very surprised to see that each GT student had their own lap top to work on while in her class. They are learning how to do a program on the Internet called KID BIZ. Where they read articles on current events and answer questions. The cool thing about the program is that it adapts to their personal reading level and they can do it from home too!
It was a fun night and Darrick was very impressed with everything he saw!
