a parent afternoon...in Nov.

Twice a year, the lower elementary invites all of the parents for a "parent afternoon." The children can give their parents lessons and show them their files of work. It is always a fun afternoon of socializing with the teachers & other parents, and seeing the work that Maddy is doing...
Look how excited our girl was to give us her favorite lessons! :)
**********
She gave us a lesson on the multiplication board first...
Next, she gave us a flag lesson...
She took a break to sharpen her colored pencils...
Then, the 3 of us took a break and sampled some snacks some 3rd years made for the parent afternoon...they were so yummy! In fact, Maddy ate most of the strawberries! :)
Maddy had just been given a lesson on the checquerboard and was so excited when she could so off her new skill! She got out the beads, the board, her pencils, & her workbook.
Jan gave her a problem...
She laid out her tiles... She counted her beads & exchanged...

Writing down her answer...

Success!

We had so much fun! Thank you, Maddy, for the new lessons! :)

How exciting! Your little student became the teacher! I was eagerly awaiting the rest of the sneak peek!
By the way, our boys lost at sub-state, so no state basketball for us this week.

Stay warm today!
Love,
Aunt Cindy

What a treat for all of you! Do they do all of their works on the floor????
That would sure leave me out!

In answer to your question, Vicki Lou, the children are able to choose where they wish to work...at a table or on a working rug on the floor. The parent afternoon in Nov. was very crowded and all of the tables were full...we had to use a rug.
