Back to school night

Michael and I attended Sequoia's Back to School night tonight. Michael came home early and the Wakefields babysat the girls for us. We met the principal, Mrs. Matteoni. Her pantsuit matched the neon green of her VW bug. She seems like a very caring lady who is driven to continue to make Sequoia a top school in the school district. She gave lots of credit and thanks to the students' parents for their involvement. Following our meeting in the MUR (multi use room), we went to Mrs. Haneberrys class. Ainlsey had some of her artwork up on bulletin boards. We then had a chance to listen to Mrs. Haneberry and ask questions. I questioned the use of videos in the classroom and found that it won't happen very often. The one they used was used to introduce phonics. It is a Leap Frog video, which I am okay with...but want to make sure that any video watched is educational. We left the meeting feeling like the school year is going to be great and feel very lucky Ainsley is attending Sequoia. Thank you again to Minor and Mary Beth for babysitting.
