The 3rd graders have had two weeks of 1 hour a day with a Theaterworks drama expert working on poetry. Three of the 6 classes put on a "performance" at 10:30-11:15 today. I asked Ant afterward if he'd like to continue with some Theaterworks classes. He said a definitive NO.

After the performance I took a selfie with Ant and then Ayden jumped into our picture too.

At 1:00 I was back in Ant's class helping with Art in Action. The lesson was based on Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night piece. The last time we studied van Gogh was in 2nd grade and Oma and Opa were here visiting. Oma volunteered for that lesson and taught the kids how to properly pronounce "van Gogh" which sounds like "von Hoogggh" and Anthony kept correcting Cathy (the leader) when she pronounced it incorrectly.

Ant is very silly. His classmate Claire (next to him 4 pics up) said he's not that silly when I'm not around but there are moments when he is!

Above two pics are of the Blue Dog lesson from last month. Do you like Ant's blue dog with the yellow and pink duck next to it?

While I was at Art in Action, Ayden asked if he could have a play date with Ant after school. I told him we were going straight to Burgess to watch Ramsey's 7th grade basketball game at 3:45pm. He said he wanted to go. Yay! He helped entertain Ant while we watched the game and their classmate Casey was also there to watch his brother's game. In the pic 2 above, Ram is in the orange shirt but is standing behind someone else. Their team played well and the game ended in a  38-38 tie. In the 2 minute overtime there was a bad call and Ram's team ended up losing 42-38 sadly.
