I love the days leading up to the big day but once the day arrives, the thrill is gone. I'm so glad that you're my daughter's teacher. For the children, you make every day seem like Christmas.Maya Catching Butterflieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12165369520982975833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-20746002108338874682009-08-12T08:25:41.879-07:002009-08-12T08:25:41.879-07:00You know, Eva, the Pre-K play is a perfect example...You know, Eva, the Pre-K play is a perfect example of the kids being the keepers of our institutional memory.<br /><br />Each January, I challenge the Pre-K kids to come up with a project that is good for the "whole school". My first year, that wound up being the paper mache birthday throne that we still use, but the following year the kids wanted to do a play.<br /><br />Every September from then on, the Pre-K kids have arrived at school talking about their play. It's pretty amazing.Teacher Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14606781724784785338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-39288038629890600672009-08-11T21:40:21.427-07:002009-08-11T21:40:21.427-07:00This past weekend I found out an old family friend...This past weekend I found out an old family friend has her son enrolled in a cooperative preschool down here. This will be her second year involved in it. It sounds so warm and developmental.

When she ate breakfast looking at the wet ground this morning SHE began talking in a longing voice about preschool; she confirmed yet again that "this year is the year I get to do the play?!" I'm already thinking of small group projects!Eva C.noreply@blogger.com
