The kids' school had an open house last night. There wasn't much turn out...parents don't seem to be very supportive of the school, I wonder if that's normal? Whenever the kids have parties and parents are asked to sign up to bring treats, only 2-3 parents sign up. When they have a parent breakfast or luncheon, I am often the only person to show up in my kid's classes. I think that's so sad. It's important to be part of your children's education and support what they are doing in school. I know some parents work a lot (I do too now), but I can still manage to bring treats when needed and help out when I can.
Anyway, rant over. I didn't take Alex with me because it was from 6:30 - 7:30 and if he's not in bed by 7:00, nobody's happy! I did speak to his teachers though and they said he is doing great. He is really learning to express himself appropriately and apparently listens to the teachers and follows directions well. He does that at home too, *when he wants too*. Aurora's teacher said that Aurora is her #1 helper in the class and is a big help. The class is a mix of 3,4, and 5 year olds and Aurora has been there the longest so she knows how everything works and where it goes. I wasn't surprise to hear that because she is a great helper at home too. What did shock me, however, is that Aurora knows the flags of like 20 different countries! On the wall they had a big map and flags all around the map, and Aurora pointed to them all and told me what country they belonged to - I was amazed, I didn't even know 3/4ths of them! Both of my babies are getting so big.

Wow, sounds like a great open house! How awesome of Aurora, what a smarty pants! I think that's strange about the kids parents not helping out or being involved, in the younger year w/ my kids parents were always fighting to be the ones who get to go on the field trips or help out in the class rooms, your luckey if you are one of the chosen parents lol.
