Showcase Day

Every year at this time, each grade at AJ's school does a special project which is then displayed all over the school along with student's private collections. Today the classes were allowed to walk around the school and view all the displays and the parents were invited as well (and yet again Jack crashed the party.) I was blown away by the depth of some of these projects and the creativity of the students. AJ's class did landforms-clay sculptures of hills, mountains, rivers, lakes, plains and oceans. One class did variations of popular stories and there was one titled, "The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig" with an awesome illustration to match.

I feel extremely lucky to be in a community which values education so highly. I would have moved here for this school alone!
