Magnet School Open House

For the past four years, by this time of the year, Hannah is usually out of school for the school year. But last Fall, our school changed to a modified traditional school year from a year round school schedule and now the entire school ends mid-June.

Because we're normally out of school by now, we were out of the loop when they started planning a small class performance for the Magnet Open House, which is held the first week of June. This is the first year that we've been around to participate!

Our school is a Magnet School that still emphasizes visual and performing arts in their curriculum. So today, the school hosted an Open House for parents and grandparents and friends and neighbors to come onto the school campus and see what the school does in regards to the visual and performing arts.

A few weeks ago, much to my great excitement, Hannah was chosen to play the role of Minnie Mouse in the small play her class and another would be doing. The teacher worked really hard to put together props and costumes and it all came together really well. I thought the school organized this event very well. Events were spread out all over the campus and there were art galleries on display throughout the campus, as well as the individual classrooms. This was the 3rd grade art gallery and one of Hannah's piece of work.If I had had more time today, I would have liked to have visited some of the other events of the morning, but time was limited today and all I saw was Hannah's play and the 3rd grade art gallery and a quick peek into her room. It's hard to believe that next years Magnet Open House we'll have two kids' work to check out!
