She's Been Recognized

Our preschool is an age 3-5 inclusive classroom. The classroom is the lab for the early childhood program at the regional Vo-Tech. Juniors and seniors who want to work with children after high school supervise the children and facilitate their activities. These high school students receive one week of classroom instruction then have one week in the lab. The adults who oversee this whole program are nothing short of amazing.

Given the age range of the preschool students, there is no such thing as graduation. However, last night the 12 little people were recognized. Since this was the PM class, about 2/3 of the class are heading to Kindergarten in the fall. The second year high school students were all recognized as well. They will attend a true graduation in a few weeks at their local high school. Every one of the dozen is headed to college in the fall to earn qualifications to work with kids. Most in early childhood. So it seems that the program works.

Last night's program included 5 well chosen songs. Megan LOVES to sing. And she is good at following instruction when it strikes her fancy. So when they told the children to sing loud enough for everyone to hear them, she took it to heart. There were about 36 people singing one song when you include all the high schoolers. I've formulated an equation to represent the results:

(Group - Megan) X 10 = Volume of Megan.

I'll work later on stripping off a piece of our video of the event to share here. Hysterical.
