School Shots Spring Edition

By -
Spring edition of Brock's awesome preschool. This takes us right up to Brock's graduation. Summer edition to follow, with consideration of birth of Brock's sis.



 Music class, obviously.

Their school has two sister schools; one in China and one in Columbia. This is Brock streaming and talking with the Columbia school.


 Brock still loves the practical life section of his school, although this spring the math area has taken over the practical life section.







 Brock has now mastered the 100's board, and the 45 layout, I think that takes him to the end of the math works? but I have to double check....

 His new favorite passion are the robot cubes. I have them available for check out from DePaul, so I brought them home for him and Matt to mess around with. They made a lot of discoveries that Brock took back to school, including asking his teacher to finally download the bluetooth app for the bluetooth cube to control the robot from a phone. 

 He also has been taking a lot of joy in teaching other kids how to do the 100's board. Although, he likes them to do it his way and got frustrated when his peers put them in out of order.



 A visit from the fire department.

 Oh I wish I knew what his question was...








 

 I think strawberry in Mandarin.

 Practicing for graduation.














Alright! That is it for Spring! I will miss these photos when he goes off to Kindergarten! They have been such great jumping off points to get him to talk about school (not that he really has any issue talking about school!). Till final summer edition....

Kindergarten graduation!

 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

Camping Disc Golf 2017

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.
