Multi-cultural Night

The school had Multi-cultural night at school Thursday where each class celebrated a country. Here we have J, her friend La and their teacher in front of one of their Austalia projects.




J had come home from school on Wednesday with 'the plan'. She and La were going to run from room to room to check out everything and then report back. I informed her that I felt like the school had this night for an opportunity for families to spend time together and I thought she should stay with S and me.

Thursday J presented the new plan - we would all meet at the classroom and La and J would show us around together. We met at the classroom and took the pictures and J and La were off and out of sight. S and I wandered through Australia, on to places like Mexico, Egypt (awesome pasta/rice dish), Asia, Mexico, Europe, Africa...and the US by the kindergarteners. Didn't catch up with J and La. Along the way we would her of J sightings..."There were here, J got a fortune cookie" , "J is in the Gym" "J is watching a movie in the USA".

S was not convinced we would catch up with her but she was handling it well..."I guess if we don't find her we'll just go home and have one kid in the family".

All is well - two kids at home...

What a fun school project! That sounds like an awesome experience for students and parents, even sans the second kid being with you LOL! There is also benefit in one-on-one time with one kid - something we haven't had once since there were three of us!
