What a treat to be in their room for part of the day! Here are some things I came away with and some of my favorite, more memorable moments:
- C made two swords with Legos during table work time. He was wielding them around and M asked him what he was doing. C calmly replied that he's a ninja and was practicing.
- When J couldn't find a pencil in his folder the ENTIRE class chimed in to let him know it was in the back of his folder. J said, "Oh...silly me". Then L said, "I put the pencil there. I'm seriously magic."
- I got to sit on the carpet beside Mason during calendar time. This was quite a serious part of the day what with the weather report, tally marks, counting of school days and such. I was quite impressed with how each student participated so well in this section. About half way through, J turned around to me and out of the blue whispered very quickly, "My favorite show is Go Diego Go. He has a backpack that turns in to anything he needs"....and then quickly turned back around and went about his calendar work. OK.
- During carpet time, J kept scooting farther and farther back until he was nearly in my lap. He asked if I was staying for recess. I think he was asking me out.
- Mason drew a picture of a girl during table work time and put MOM on the top. He was so proud of it and we hugged when he showed it to me...until his favorite little friend Hannah showed up and he quickly erased MOM and put an H in its place. He then greeted Hannah and said, "Look what I made for you!". I was crushed. I think I'll ask Mrs. Pennington if she still has that drawing. What a fun keepsake from my trip to kindergarten.
- I left feeling like I couldn't wash my hands enough.
- I left feeling like I was surely coming down with something.
- I left with an odd feeling over the idea that someone else is teaching my child. I want to teach him everything he needs to know. I then wondered if God was planting a homeschooling seed. I then knew for sure that I was coming down with something!
- Mrs. Pennington and Mrs. Todd love their jobs, and I'm so glad Mason is in their class. They rock!
- I am so thankful that we can send out precious kiddo to a Christian school...a school that teaches Truth.
- And my favorite part of all...the children RAPPED their months of the year - just for me!
