Kindergarten is officially off and running and Faith is following along wonderfully. She is enjoying everything that the child's garden has to offer. Of course her school is doing something they have never done before; co-teaching. Faith has one teacher 1st semester for Math/Science and another teacher for Reading/Language Arts. They then switch roles 2nd semester. What makes this so nice is that the ratio is 1:8. Her teacher has no more than eight children in her group at one time. She can really focus on learning with them. Faith is about to enjoy a new music program called Octaves where they teach her the history of music and the 8 steps to understanding music. I am excited to see her grow. I find Faith excited to be in class and I find her teacher expecting more out of her. She has known Faith since she was two and we first started at our school. She knows what Faith is capable and will hold it to her. Two thumbs up for Kindergarten.
Toddler. Preschooler. Prekindergartener. Kindergartener. And now a first grader. Life moves forward.
