Welcome to Parents' Night 2013

Parents' Night takes place every year during the 3rd week of school.  It is an opportunity to hear from Mrs. Elizabeth Lyons, Head of Lower School and Assistant Headmaster, about the various lower-school and early childhood education programs like reading, math, science and languages.  It is also a time when parents meet in their child's classrooms to better understand the specific class curriculum.  Tae and I divided and conquered tonight.  I took 1st grade and Tae, Pre-K.

This beautiful welcome letter from Lauren awaited my arrival.  Ms. Shackel shared with me, "I told Lauren she was doing my wedding invitations," referring to her exceptional handwriting.  I have to admit, I was pretty impressed myself. 

Lauren's welcome note to me for 1st Grade Parents' Night

Tae had a great experience during the Pre-K Parents' Night.  He was amazed at how seemingly intense and structured the Pre-K curriculum was.  I reminded him that it was the same for Lauren.  Plus Ebi has been going to school since she was 2-years-old and she is no stranger to classroom structure.  I would venture a guess that today's lesson was focused on the letter B.  During our bedtime snuggles, she was repeating B words like Baby, Boy, Big, Bubbles.

 

 

I captured Lauren and Elizabeth's daily schedule for posterity.  I couldn't be happier with the education and experiences they are receiving at Buckley.
