There are a few things that I've noticed about her school. We get sheets from her teachers every day that provide insight into what activities they work on each day. So far I've been impressed with how much they work on. The actually facts - like numbers, letters, and puzzles - she is well beyond. But how they work on them I like. It's reinforcing things in a more practical way that has made a difference already.
On her paper today, they showed that they worked with the kids on how to dial 911. Holy Cow - what a fantastic idea. I had to go back today to drop off her lunch. I peeked in her room and it was organized chaos. I loved it. I was surprised. There were multiple kids in multiple work areas having a blast. She was working on puzzles at the back table and there were kids up on the circle-time mat goofing off. They provide options for the kids all day long and they work through all the activities by the time they get through their day.
They also get computer time every day. I love that too. They have two in their room as well as a computer lab in the common area.
I guess what I'm saying is that I like it so far. I am completely surprised, but I am glad I was open to this option. I'm hoping that she continues to grow and enjoy her school.
Oh yea - they don't have a swing set. :)
