Meet the Teacher Night!

I just returned from meeting Sean's grade 6 teacher, Mr. Thompson, or "Mr. T." Basically, I'm super-duper impressed. He's going to be perfect for Sean. He is a woodworker and the kids make log cabins, bird houses, and other fun stuff. He plays highly competitive volleyball and track and field, so he has high expectations for them in P.E. He is the school IT guy, and he hopes that all the kids know as much as he does by the end of the year. Oh, and he's very dramatic. He wears costumes and gets into character to teach certain things. He's way outside the box, but it sounds like he's going to make it a really fun year for the kids. He has really intersting ways of dealing with discipline. For example, for minor infractions, he has the kids write a "Once Upon a Time" short story where the main character does what they did. Yes, Sean has written one already! His main character sharpened all of the librarian's pencils when he was supposed to be researching rivers...
