Open House May 2010

I can hardly believe that Connor's Kindergarten year is almost over. A couple days ago his school hosted Open House so the children could show us their work. The families gathered on the playground to play and picnic ahead of the classroom visiting hours.
Here is Connor waiting outside just before the classrooms opened.

Connor and his wonderful teacher, Mrs. Smith. They are standing over Connor's box of books that he wrote this year.

Connor shows Sean how to work the cash register in the pet shop in his classroom.

The family pet shop appears to be open for business.

Introducing the Class of 2022!

Last week Connor's class did a "Learning Through Lyrics" show for all the kindergarten families. They sang close to ten songs complete with hand motions and artwork. Connor was one of the song announcers. Here he is at the microphone.

Sean was not so impressed with the show, and preferred to make funny faces at the camera.

The children sang "What a Wonderful World" and they each had a painting of a part of the song. Connor had "Clouds of White," so he (and a few others who had clouds) would raise his painting at that part of the song. Very sweet.

One more of Connor at the mike. He was very clear and easy to understand! We were pleasantly surprised at how well he spoke.

Sean smiled happily after the finale!

Who Are These Guys?

At the end of April our dear friends visited to participate in the Santa Monica Mtns Science Festival. Here are some shots of the amazing day.
