Elena's school conference

Elena's school had student-led conferences. Mommy and Daddy (and Zachary) went to school to get some lessons from Elena. It's a way for parents to see what their child has learned.
Elena was very excited to show us the coffee grinder (she calls it the coffee maker). The grinding go into a box for the kids to practice writing a-b-c letters in. Elena showed us how to wash windows.
Mommy tries out Elena's technique.
Elena demonstrates the spindle boxes. They are a tool used to learn counting from 0 to 9.
Elena showed her mommy and daddy how to do animal tracing. It involves tracing the parts of a wooden animal puzzle and then coloring it all in.
Elena loved showing us around her room and being the teacher. We were very impressed that Elena gave lessons from all areas of work - science, math, community/peace, daily living, and art. Keep up the good work E!
