school involvement

I am so fortunate to be able to be a part of my daughters schooling. I love going in to help out at the school. it really does give you a better idea of what is going on. It shows me what she is learning first hand, the way teachers interact with students and other adults and what the other children my daughter spends all of her time with are like. I hope that I can continue to be an active part of my childrens education. I have seen how much she truely is learning. Its just amazing. It goes way beyond the core subjects, theyre teaching them the proper way to handle different situations use their manners and how to get along with others more than i could ever list. There are alot of things she does in school that would be hard for us to reproduce at home. I just wish that there were more time in a day. I feel like by the time she gets home from school theres just not enough time in the day to get everything done. between homework which is very simple, reading lessons that we are doing by choice, baths supper, reading betime stories the day is already gone. I kinda wish kindergarten could be half day like when we were little. she is still so young and a full school day is a very long day for such a young child. Carters excited to start preschool next year which is also something that I will be involved in. Infact, they expect you to be involved, i cant tell you happy this makes me. If they dont let you come into the classroom it really makes me wonder what is going on. Carter wants to be just like his big sis. he was watching us do our reading lesson the other night and now making the ssss sound all around the house. He really is picking stuff up even if hes not sitting for stuff. he was in the room when brooke and i were doing the lesson and really likes the sound, i show him an s and he wont tell me its an s but tells me the sound.
