School Stuff

We love our boys' school for lots of reasons...but one of them is that at this ripe old age of preschoolers they let them be kids and have fun and learn through play and discovery (unlike a traditional Mexican school). They are given several opportunities throughout the year to make a presentation in front of their class about fun/interesting topics - sometimes assigned and sometimes chosen by the child...sometimes in english, sometimes in spanish. At such an early age the fear of public speaking is being conquered and I think that is pretty cool.

This time around Reece chose to talk about bugs and for days beforehand was finding dead critters to save and show to his classmates with a magnifying glass. He made this poster and talked about why he loves collecting bugs!

 


And Chase chose Sea Animals. His teacher invited the parents to come and watch their child present and that was a really fun thing. He got out a pointer stick (in this case a sword) and did a really great job. I was able to snap a few more pics of him since it was live and in action! He was so proud of his ocean that he painted and all the sea animals he colored and glued in just the right spot!
