School Daze


Mailperson Day
Saying Gabbi loves school is an understatement.  Gabbi adores school.  She absolutely looks forward to it each week.  I have to admit, I do too.  I love that we found her a school that excites her and allows us to be involved in her learning and the school.

I would recommend a cooperative school to anyone.  The three big perks to coop environment is the parent involvement in the classroom, tuition costs are low, and the class ratio is 3:1.  Since I love involvement this experience has been very rewarding to me.

I enjoy hearing Gabbi's excitement about what she is learning, the projects she completes and about all of her friends.  Recently, her teacher had the class learn about dentists and doctors.  They got to learn all about teeth, teeth brushing, 'sugar bugs', doctor visits, being a nurse, and even made a doctor's kit.  Gabbi was so excited to show me how she flosses and tell me all about sugar bugs. Then she got to show me all of the pieces in her medical kit and described what each piece was for.

Hearing her retell how preschool went is just so uplifting and exciting.  She loves her teacher and her friends so much and I believe it helps her learn.

And anything that helps her learn and explore I am in full support of.  A big thank you to Teacher Carol and all the parents that work with Gabbi and help her in the class.

Gabbi's special day!
