Has it really been since July since I've posted school shots? Jeeze. Well, feel free to fast forward or something, but here is the man in action for his second year of Montessori Gifted Prep. Looks like there are some short wearing so that tells me it's been a while.
That's Alex sitting next to him, the "other woman".
Brock tends to gravitate to the practical works, although he does a lot of number works and draws every day.
Summer garden.
One of the moms is a very talented player and shared her skills with the class.
Brock and Lillian.
That is Sophie, his fiance, sitting across from him.
Apparently the cookie cutter play-doh was a hot item, until the doh dried out.
"not another group photo"...
Drawing is likely his favorite activity and he is now calling himself an artist.
Practicing for the big test.
Practicing for the winter celebration performance. Which one day the guy who videotaped it will send it to us...
Brock is currently on a puzzle kick and loves this one of the US.
Brock passing out his pizza valentines. He was soooo excited to for Valentines day. He drew a different picture for everyone. He had his vocalized favorites, although he very politically says he likes everyone, still, some preferences showed through. For some people he drew hearts and roasting marshmallows, and for others he drew, and these are his words, "jail".
Brock in action.
Spoils of love.
On Friday I attended the Chinese Lion dance for Chinese new year.
Super cool.
and a Kung Fu demo.
Welcome year of the Dog! Hopefully I post these again before year of the Guinea Pig.
Ah, the pomp and circumstance of a Kindergarten graduation. The wonderful Principle Korth at the podium... The event began with the graduates singing a song to their teacher: And then the main event! Then we adjourned to the playground for cake and popsicles. Alice with one of her closer friend, Chloe. And her AMAZING teacher who we will miss so much, Ms. Heintzelman! It has been a really good year! Alice has bloomed in reading and math and particularly in her interest and understanding of sociology and science. She even made a few friends! I can say I learned more from than even Brock's first year of public school. I began volunteering on Friday mornings in December after her school received 100 new refugee students from Venezuela (her school went from 200 to 300 in a day!). I did not want to volunteer in the classroom, but instead wanted to help out with admin, but that was not where humans were needed, so I ended up in the neighborhood third grade class. This was way outside
Uh. When the going gets rough, the rough roughs it! And off we head to Michigan for our annual camping and disc golfing extravaganza. We are last minute campers and it worked to our advantage this year. As everything else was booked, we ended up at a little "secret" campsite we know of in western MI called Timberview. The nice old man that runs it got sick of loud campers, so he pulled all listings off of the internet. It's not on google maps. We were lucky enough to drive by one year and just stop in. And now that we have a kid, he set us up in the nicest secluded campsite, of which we took two pictures (we're bad at this sometimes.) There was wonderful hiking, an assortment of mushrooms to discover, and a giant hill of majestic old-growth pines that Brock aptly named "pine tree heaven." It's also quite refreshing to be in a site where you are actually allowed to gather your own firewood, and it's low-traffic enough that there is plenty. We s
Brock was given the assignment of memorizing the poem "If", by Sir Rudyard Kipling. It is a wonderful poem, here was his submission to his teacher. They were also called on at random times through out the year to recite various verses impromptu in class. So deep.
