Our local High School has a pre-school program that is for four months during the school year. The high school students have to come up with the lesson plans and then teach them to the pre-schoolers. It is three times a week for 2 1/2 hours. Needless to say I thought it was a perfect opportunity for Haven to socialize a bit since she loves to socialize. This was her first year and she loved it. I would ask each day what she learned and she really wouldn't tell me, but little things would come out during her playtime when she mimicked the teachers.
They had their year-end program a couple of weeks ago and they handed out awards to each of the kids. Some of the awards were a bit strange if you ask me....best hair? Really? Most random? Most serious? Anyway, for some reason I thought they would be more of an academic award. Some of them were. Haven got best listener. That was a shock to this mommy since she doesn't seem to listen that much to me! I am glad to know she is a good listener in school. I was very proud of her. During the singing part of their program she was a very enthusiastic singer/dancer. We had heard a few of the songs leading up to the program since Haven loves to perform.
All the kids were getting their picture taken with the adult teacher, but since the students worked with her the most, I wanted to get a picture with the teens. I am so glad they make this program available!
