While the end of the school year is still a long way off, Ella Grace has had some decisions to make since this is her last year at RMMS. Ella, Mom, and Dad went to an open house at the Isaac School, but it seemed to be the Bilingual Academy for the Arts that caught Ella's attention. At the open house Ella handed her application in without any prompting from Mom or Dad. Next Eliza will also no longer have big sister around. She seems to be okay with this and both children remain social creatures.
At the Bilingual Academy they alternate each week between teaching in English and Spanish. They also put on performance art shows to show the other students what they've been learning. By turning their studies into works of art the students are better able to retain the things that they have learned. It's a small school in New London, only about 70 students, which means the students all know each other and all of the teachers.
The family has been entertaining Emily and Dillon on the weekends and have been going out for activities as weather has permitted. We've spent time at the Mystic Aquarium as well as Chucky Cheese's. The kids have also enjoyed playing the Wii.
