Adrianna had her Destination Imagination competition today. DI is her favorite class and she was SO excited for today. Her team did the “Drop Zone Engineering†challenge.

Computer Academy
Today while doing Social Studies with Bree and Cate, the topic was working and jobs. I asked them what kind of job they think they might like to have someday. Cate spoke up right away, “Computer *Academy like Daddy! Then I can work with him and see him every day!” Bree thought that was a […]

We all especially liked the appearance of the ghost of Marley and the “snow” that fell on the audience at the end. Later in the day, […]
