Special Friends and Grandparents Day at School

Nana and Grandpa Coskran came to school on Friday to visit Beck and Caden's classrooms. Each year the students open their classrooms to their special guests and enjoy a snack with them and share their work with them.

Nana was specially invited to read the editorial she wrote for the Star Tribune in January. Beck recited "A Time to Rise" to everyone when she was done with her reading.

Both boys were really proud to have their Nana take center stage at circle time.

The other grandparents and special friends really liked Great Grandma Betty's idea too!

Don't worry about the Apocalypse - Beck Will Reconstruct the World!

Beck has loved puzzles since his late Twos. But he shocked us all and took his love of puzzling to new heights at school recently. Ms. Rita had a picture taken of him with his masterpiece during the afternoon work session. (Beck attends Step By Step Montessori in Edina.)

Beck spent well over two hours, deep in concentration, constructing individual wooden puzzles of all the continents. But what was so amazing is how he took it a step further and pieced the completed continent puzzles together in their prehistoric form before continental drift pulled them apart!

Needless to say, mom and dad are pretty proud!
