    I looked at the mural! What a lucky school to have THAT on their wall painted by some of their own!

    Thanks everyone for props--they all go to dd, the art students who helped out & her teacher! I can take credit for passing along some musical talent, but not artistic talent. That come from her dad's side of the family.

    You should see they rest of the murals: art, reading, science, math, home economics...the art teacher has them do 2-3 each year. They are really amazing! (And every one has an Eeyore!)

    great stories everyone!

    We just found out ds10 is invited to the professional ballet program at the academy he attends (not sure he'll go for it, but to get the recognition is really great). Also, he is picked for a great couple of roles in the Nutcracker this year, so he is REALLY excited!!

    Dd5 just finished up K and literally lead her class in singing a bunch of great songs, and had a couple of lines to say at the end. I wasn't sure if anyone else noticed her belting out the songs with greater surety that the other kids, figured it was just my own bias, but then the teacher pulled me aside to tell me how great dd's memory for the songs has been, and how during practice she was practically the only one singing most of the time...LOl, so now she sees dd a bit more clearly.

    what a bunch of talented kids!! great pix!

    DS10 is very excited this week. He goes to a gifted public school, everyone works one year ahead. He just finished 4th grade but had an acceleration for math, so went to a 5th grade class to do 6th grade math.

    Out of over 200 5th grade students 60 were selected to test for a double-acceleration math course for next year. Out of the 60 tested 24 are accepted. Just found out DS will be in that class. He was tested as a 4th grader so for him it will be a triple-acceleration. He really wanted this and we are super proud of him smile
