Open house

Last night was Caden and Paige's open house at school.  They make this a fun day by letting the kids wear their pajamas to school and calling it Pizza and Pajama night.  We were able to go mingle with other students and parents while enjoying some pizza and then headed off to see what the kids have been up to.  On our way to their classrooms I stopped to look at the start students bulletin board and it just so happened my two cuties were up there!

Then it was time to go see all the science fair projects the 2nd graders had been working on.  Caden loves science and was very into his project.  Out first idea failed so last minute we came up with another idea.  He decided to see what would happen to gummy bears when they sat in different solutions overnight.  We had fun setting everything up and making our guesses on what would happen and then finding out what really happened.  I am not sure why they did this in second grade.  To me it seemed more like a 4th or 5th grade project, but I told myself it was probably more about the kids learning the process and going thru the steps.  Although Caden did the leg work I have to admit the final product was mostly me and by the looks of the other projects the other parents did the same.  It was neat to see all the kids excited to see their projects displayed and explaining them.  

Then is was on to Paige's class.  She showed us all around and even read some of her stories they have been working on to us.  She wrote one all about mom's and another how to story about how to make chocolate milk.  lol They were super cute.

On our way out we stopped by the book fair and the kids talked us into buying a few books .  I try not to buy books anymore, but it was hard to say no.

We had a great time seeing what the kids have been doing at school.  Only a few months left in the school year!
