I just wanted to blog a bit about a recent adventure.
Last friday I volunteered in Isaac's classroom! It was an intersting and fun experience. I thought that he would act all crazy like he sometimes does when I am around, but he was pretty normal. The day started out with him being chosen as "The Star of the Day". That meant that he got to check the weather, count the kids in class and decide the numerical difference between the boys and girls and name the months of the year, days of the week and that days' date. He also got to be line leader. He was excited that he got chosen on the day I was there. (It was a slight coincidence considering that each kid gets a day, and with 26 students and it being the 23rd day of school.)
It was neat to see what goes on in the classroom so that when he talks about something they did that day I have an idea of what he is talking about. And I really like his teacher. She seems to like all the kids. She even went out of her way to find an Octopus poem for him aftering hearing (a lot I'm sure) about how much he loves octopus. He seems to really like school and his teacher so far.
Oh, Isaac loves octopuses? I hadn't realized. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute class! I love all the duties of the Star of the Day. That's so fun you got to spend the day there.
ReplyDeleteGood for you George! I think it is awesome you did that. And Isaac the Star of the Day - Wow! I'm glad it was the day you were there - he (and you) must have been so proud. Good job Isaac - way to go!
