Yesterday, we were invited to a play date tea at a ladies house that I met at the playground. She also has 3 boys, as does another lady that she invited. All of our oldest are in school, so the 6 younger kids played together while the Mom's enjoyed some tea and chatted. She had a whole spread of finger sandwiches, nuggets for the kids, grapes and delicious scones. Logan, like my other boys, loves tea and I couldn't keep him from climbing into my lap and drinking all my tea! Evan played very nicely with one of the other boys who was 4 years old. I didn't hear a peep from him the whole time.
Today, the highlight was volunteering in Colin's class. It was nice to get a chance to peak in on how his teacher runs the classroom...very well and organized in my opinion. She is nice while still being very firm, the kids definitely don't walk all over her. I also got to see how Colin interacts with the other kids and the teacher. I was pleasantly surprised to see him actually raising his hands and answering questions. It was also interesting to see the vast variety of levels of the different students. Colin is a strong student, so I never realized how hard some of the work is for some of the other kids. I am used to Colin rushing through his homework in 5 seconds. There are differently a few girls in his class that are way below Colin's level in Reading and Comprehension. They needed a lot of guidance to figure out their worksheets and even then didn't seem to grasp what they were supposed to do. Then there was the other extreme of a girl who was sitting and reading chapter books quietly and never had a question. A teacher I am not, but I did enjoy spending an hour helping the teacher out. I am looking forward to going with Colin's class on Friday for their first field trip!
