Open House

Today we got to bring the kids back to their school for Open House.  It was a chance to meet with their teachers, bring in their school supplies early, and let the kids see their new classroom areas.  Alex is moving up to 3rd grade in the Lower Intermediate Section of the school, which are combined 3rd and 4th grade classes.  His teacher is Mrs. Augustyniak and seems very nice.  This year he'll have to carry around that big green binder with a homework planner in there.

Aaron will be moving up to preschool 5 days a week at the same school.  He'll have Mrs. Choka, the same P-4 teacher that Alex had when he started here.  He liked his new teacher and classroom.  Most of the kids he knows from last year.  He is very proud to be moving up to the big preschool out of the 3 year old building, though he will miss Mrs. Meinecke.

Becky also took this opportunity to recruit for Cub Scouts. She made the posterboard display with pictures of previous scouting activities from last year.

She made Scout popcorn and Alex got in his uniform also to attract 1st through 5th grade boys to the table.  She got lots of people interested in the popcorn (it's quite good) and got several kids interested in looking into Cub Scouts when they start it up in a month or so.  More importantly, she found a parent interested in walking the 1st graders through the Tiger Cub requirements.  She'll make one more appeal in a few weeks at the Parents' Back To School night.
