Patterson night

Last Thursday night, the 22nd, we attended Patterson night at Jacob and Spencer's school. It was an evening for the family to come and see what the children have been working on this year. Jacob and Spencer have only been there a short time, but they still had plenty to share with us.

This is the kindergarten students showing us some of the things they do for P.E. If you look closely you can see Spencer trying to find a spot. He did manage to get one just in time.




Each of the grades were suppose to show us something from P.E. but the rain began to fall just as Kindergartners finished up and so the other grades were cancelled. Jacob was bummed that he didn't get to jump rope for us.

Here is Jacob standing by a butterfly project that they did. He also had a peanut plant that he had planted and a write-up of how a peanut grows. In his hand you can see his "healthy snack". They were selling these throughout the night and of course the boys had to have one..."but it's healthy Mom!"


Here is Spencer demonstrating some of the math activities they do. This is one thing that I like about a classic school as opposed to Benjamin Franklin CS. They seem to do a lot of hands on learning which seems to be very good for both Jacob and Spencer.
