Kayson - 3rd Grade Open House

Monday afternoon we met Kayson's 3rd grade teacher at Maple Grove - Mrs. Flack.  She seems very nice, however, I found it weird that she had all the blinds closed, and weird lights on (like different colorful lights).  Hmmm...  My guess is that she may just want the feeling of 'calm' in a classroom... cuz it definitely was.  I'll be curious to hear from Kayson if she has it like that during the day... 

Anyway, we had a nice visit with her, Kayson got his school supplies put away, and we just roamed the room a little.  One thing in Mrs. Flack's room - the kids don't have assigned desks.  So their supplies are in 'bins' and there are different 'stations' for desks - teacher calls it "flexible seating".  So each section of desks is about 4 or 5 desks - but each is a different seat.  So - there are workout balls in one section, there are standing desks (no chairs), there are cushions in one section... and so on.  I do find this very interesting and am very anxious to hear how it goes.  

I can't believe K is in 3rd grade already... just unbelievable.
