festive schooling







owen was very tolerant for the school field trip to see the "nutcracker." it definitely did not seem like a first choice for a first grade boy. he just seemed happy to be with his best buds! wyatt's 4th-8th grade group had a gingerbread house making contest followed by a catered lunch from olive garden (i am sure the highlight being soda at school). each of the groups creations were very different ranging from piles of sugared destruction to perfectly crafted traditional houses to horse drawn carriages. wyatt's eccentric group did "a view from above" taking a different approach where one would look at it from a top view down instead of looking at it face on. i think that some of the decorations were gradually being eaten by the students though...as time passed the houses started coming down!
