The school year is coming to an end, and Tuesday night was the open house to show us what the kids had done in school.  This year, there was a new art show before the open house to show off the pieces from the Art Vistas projects.  The docents from each class all pitched in some help to make this show happened.  With me back to full time work, I did my share at home, ie, putting together the kids’ handprints to make a banner for the class.  The two moms selected and put together one piece of art work from each of Connor’s classmates to display.  The show was successful.  Both Logan and Connor enjoyed seeing theirs and their classmates’ work, and it was fun looking forward to the higher grades’ projects too.  After checking out the art show, we had some times to kill before the classrooms opened up, so many families just hung out in the library while the kids played together.  Connor of course was hanging out with his little “friend”.  When the open house began, we started with Connor’s class.  He showed us some of his writing and art work, and we toured around the classroom to look at the displayed work too.  Next it was Logan’s turn, and he was happy to show us the binder full of work he had done.  We walked around the classroom to check out Logan’s work on the wall as well.  This year we had followed the school’s advice to focus only on our kids’ classes, rather than looking forward to other grades’ classrooms.  Thus, we could actually head home earlier to have our late dinner.
