parents were invited to madelyn's school for a third grade open house. my understanding is this is the first year they have done this before school started - much to my relief! we knew most of madelyn's classmates, but putting a face to the teachers' names and seeing the inside of the school makes me feel so much better.
we started in madelyn's homeroom and it was a packed house. her teacher commented on how the attendance had far surpassed their expectations! her homeroom teacher explained about how the school day ran, about class rules, grades (this is the first year with letter grades), etc.
and then we moved on to the other two teachers madelyn would have - one for math and one for science (her homeroom teacher covers reading). new this year, she will also have a 'computer class'. the kids are all issued a chrome book that will be theirs through 8th grade. madelyn is VERY excited about this. we only had five minutes with each of her other teachers to give us a quick overview of their subjects before we were asked to go to the gym for a welcome from the principal.
this should be a very exciting year! i am really relieved to see madelyn's excitement for the new school (considering that she got off the bus on the last day of school sobbing to be leaving her old school). yay for third grade! love.
