Today N's art class did their shadow puppet show. It was great! They cycled behind a large white screen that was lit from behind so that we could see the silhouettes of their puppets. I loved it.

I noticed that N was in a very bad mood when I was at Lafayette, which is unlike him. He was asking me what time it was, how many hours were left in school, etc. It turns out that they had a terrible substitute today. One mom said, as we were walking out, that her daughter had asked her to take her home. Another mom said her son was complaining about the substitute not being able to use the smartboard. N was unhappy because the substitute didn't know how to spell "cleat" (?), and that she was over 70! (When he got home from school, the substitute's age had grown to 80.) I have been around that substitute before when I volunteer in the library and I agree that she's not great. :(  Hopefully Ms. Goodwin will be back on Monday!
