I followed Scout to school for 'Shadow Your Student' day - it was a lot of fun (still) for both of us - but he did say that it would be all right with him if I left before lunchtime (apparently it's not so cool to have your Mama in the caf with all your friends - it's OK in class 'though)...
We did some cool experiments in Science class...
involving yeast - sugar - water and a balloon...
Scout of course knows how yeast makes bread rise...
but it was still a lot of fun watching the balloons expand - and using scientific method to record the results...
Then in Math class - we first played with some triangles...
first observing them...
...equilateral...right angles...
...congruent...
...then working together to make a square....
I just loved how often his little hand shot up into the air - he has such a love of learning - and he absolutely loves going to school...
...it seemed like all the teachers called on the students who were being shadowed a little more than the others - I guess so they could show off for their parents...
What fun ! Didn't get to do that with my kids. Good Idea though. MOM
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day! Having a love of learning is such an important value in life. You have reason to be proud!
ReplyDeletehow cool....you know, richard did the opposite with duane - did the "take your child to work day" at IBM when richard was in middle school. to this day, i'm sure it's why richard refuses to have a "desk job"....i think he was extremely bored with the meetings (who isn't???)
ReplyDeletefun day! love, k
