Logan’s school had an Open House on Tuesday, so we all came home and had dinner early, then we headed to his school.  We were one of the first families to arrive at Logan’s classroom.  We said hello to his teacher, took a picture of Logan and her, then we looked around the classroom at Logan’s and the kids’ work on the walls and on their desks.  My Art Vista poster was displaying quite nicely in the room.  While Stuart and I were admiring all the activities the students had done throughout the year, the boys were more into actually drawing after asking the teacher for a paper.  Afterward, we collected Logan’s portfolios from his desk.  There was a binder of book reports with drawings that the class had read during the year; Logan has a very nice penmanship.  There were also the Art Vista portfolio I made with his artwork, and a cute collection of his classmates’ writing and drawing of “Why Logan is a Star”.  The class was obviously given suggestions as many of them wrote “Logan is a star because he receives many Gold Slips” or “Logan stands quietly in line” or “Logan is good in Hula Tag”, but each classmate made their own “one of a kind” drawings.  The boys and I went through the booklet slowly that evening and some drawings were excellent and funny.  This booklet must have taken a long time in making and we love it!

    After visiting Logan’s classroom, we also walked through two kindergarten classrooms and three second-grade classrooms.  We said hello to the teachers and just scanned around the rooms for the work the students had done.  Connor ran into several of his current classmates who would be attending the school in the upcoming year too, so Connor had fun chatting with them.  At the end, we also walked through the library and the computer room before we ended our first Open House visit.
