We love Joel's school. They are really great about involving the families and coming up with great projects to showcase what the students have been doing all year. The teachers spend SO much time and energy working with the students and families. And the Principal is AMAZING! The amount of time and energy she spends outside of the regular school hours is phenomenal. She knows pretty much all the students and their families and really cares about each one.
A few weeks ago they had their Open House. It started with a picnic at the school and Science Fair showcase. Then we were off to Joel's classroom.
This last learning unit in their class was about animals. So their open house projects were lots of the things they did in this unit.

We're excited for Vance to experience all this next year. :) We also went and toured the First Grade classes to give him a chance to see what he'll be doing next year. We're really fortunate that we moved to the area that we did that has such a great school!
