Kindergarten Open House

Pheasant Point Elementary Kindergarten Open House - O'Fallon, MO 14 September 2010. Tuesday night saw the kindergarten open house at Pheasant Point Elementary school. Pheasant Point does a picnic dinner in the lunch room followed by the open house. Its a pretty cool idea and works quite well, except the kids are crazy! All to be expected I guess.

Jake was excited to show off what he had done in the first couple weeks of school and to introduce use to his new friends. We met them and some old ones as well.

We got to tour Jake's entire school and see all the work he did. Jake was especially proud of his Counting to 100 award on the principal's Wall of Fame.

I'm particularly impressed with how much of an effort the school makes to show the kids how good accomplishment can feel. This is not to be confused with false accomplishment that many schools seem to promote (or so the media indicates). When the student does something exceptionally well or fast - effectively stands out amongst his/her class mates the are recognized. Its pretty cool.
