FIRST DAY OF SUMMER SCHOOL

Today was the beginning of summer school `09 at my college, and it was a very good day. I started this morning at the local college's Headstart program for preschoolers for my field site hours and go to class on Wednesday's. I got to meet my new instructor and we set up my schedule. I will be there from 10:30 AM till 4:30 PM three days a week plus the class time on Wednesdays. I will be busy doing this for the next 8 weeks. I was very pleased with the center and program, as all the teachers and staff were wonderful people to work with. The children are great and very smart and well-behaved for preschoolers. I love their very well put together learning centers and curriculum. These kids will be more than ready when they enter Kindergarten. I am going to really enjoy working with them. The staff were very welcoming to us students doing our practicum there.

The lines were long and the books were expensive--I spent $100 on one book! Wow, I should go to Amazon.com next time!


This day also, brought me to run into an old friend while I was standing in a line at the college. He was actually an old chum of my daughter's--Jeremy from Life Center and LensCrafters. He was there to take classes in Small Business Admin. and Audio Visual. He told me he has been busy raising 3 children and attending college since I last saw him. It was great to see him!

I like this preschool program at the college so much that I am going to apply to take several more of my practicum hours there. Starting in the fall and the rest of the year, they will be enrolling special needs children, which is my major and will be great experience for me. I am looking forward to it!

  1. Yay! Well-behaved preschoolers, that's always a plus.You ran into Jeremiah? I saw him at Walmart not too long ago. Hard to believe he grew up and had 3 kids! He seemed like such a kid when he worked at L-crafters. Autumn is doing the dishes right now. I took her and Natasha to Cindi and Dan's neighbor pool today. Now I'm sunburned.
