D's latest school activities

I'm very impressed with Danielle's school. Beyond mastering the basics of reading and writing this fall, the summer has been a more "relaxed" structure with more cooking, art and science activities. I must say, I'm even more impressed. I think Danielle is learning even more from these activities. Coming up in the next few days are making trail mix (we're supplying the dried apricots), tie-dying t-shirts and the kids' art show. For the kids' art show the school is asking that the kids be allowed to take their own photos with digital cameras. The parents will then print out the photos from which the school will choose two from each child. I do miss the music class from earlier this year; the music teacher was INCREDIBLE! But this summer he is in Italy performing and should be back in the fall.
