Back at the end of August we spent a morning at the ribbon cutting ceremony for PS133. The building had undergone a 2 year renovation and this was going to be the first peek. It was also hitting Noah that things were going to change.

The chancellor of New York City schools is a popular guy. We never really saw him.

It was great to see the new building, and great for Noah to meet new people and walk around the new school. After a quick/hectic/short tour, I brought Noah back to Hanson Place, grabbed an orange bib, and met his Hanson Place classmates at a park.

The other week, Aransas offered to host a BBQ for the kids before they left Hanson Place and Ms. Yelena took her up on it. The kids set up their cots before we left.

Singing and signing

Friends, Learning, School, Theater Comments Off on Singing and signing

One last performance at Hanson Place. A little bittersweet, but at least it was a mellow performance to show off the singing and signing that the kids have been learning (or not learning well if you spent a week in Cape Cod while everyone else practiced).

The younger kids.
