Open House and Parade

Last Thursday was Dallin’s open house. It was a very crowded but fun night. Have I mentioned that Dallin got a new teacher? About a month into the school year, his other teacher left for a different teaching position and Mrs. White was moved into her place. Mrs. White had been teaching ESE classes at Coppergate for the last couple of years and had been waiting and waiting to get her own regular class. And surprise, this opening came up and she jumped at the chance. Dallin loves her and seems to be doing really well with her.

After a little visiting and picture slide show in the classroom, we navigated our way through the crowds to hear all the first graders perform a few patriotic songs. I think it is always nice to hear the good fun patriotic songs even when we are not celebrating a national holiday. It is great to be reminded of what a wonderful country we live in!

The following day, we went and watched Dallin in the costume parade at school.

My favorite costumes were by the media center/music/art/computer teachers. They all dressed up as a mariachi band, complete with real musical instruments that they actually played. It was awesome seeing them walk by to the tune of La Bamba!

Good times at Coppergate Elementary!

It looks so fun!! Dallin's teacher just looks like she would be a great ad kind teacher. Now a part of me can ot wait till Abigail will be in school in a couple years and the other is not looking forward to a quiet house. Either way Coppergate looks great!

I just love Coppergate - the teachers, the fun stuff, and the academics. We are so lucky to be in the district!
I was so sad to miss the parade this year! I am just glad that this is Jake's last year at Lighthouse and I won't have to miss it again (hopefully). Love the Iron Man - very Dallin.
