Pre-School

Yep, Benjamin is in Pre-school! I wasn't planning on putting him in Pre-school until next year, but a bunch of my Mommie friends from my Spanish ward got together and started a Co-op Pre-school. And a few of them started bringing their 2 1/2 year olds and so I joined in. It is 2 hours twice a week. Because it is co-op each mom teaches once a month and brings all the supplies for that day. They start with a song and prayer, then have class which consists of story time, the letter of the day, snack, play time, lesson, & craft. Honestly, it's a glorified Play Group. A good 45 minute chunck is just free play. And the best part is that it is all in Spanish! Benjamin just loves it and asks almost every day if it is time to go to the "Escuelita." I also, really enjoy teaching! I think I might have found a new future proffesion. We'll see. One thing I really loved was that the pre-school met above a bookstore which was across the parking lot from my Gym, so on Mondays I either taught or assisted and on Wednesday's I went running. Which was nice because I needed to do something either Tues. or Wed. so that I didn't go 2 days in a row without working out. But unfortunately the fire marshal is being totally un-cooperative and told us we could not meet there. So now we are meeting at one of the mom's home until we figure out another place to meet. But it is still so fun for Benjamin and I'm excited for him to continue and I love it because when all the mom's take turns.... it's free! Yay! Anyway here are some pictures...

Benjamin started the week before Halloween, so he got to participate in the Halloween party. Here is his paper pumpkin craft.

After the party the kids went on a fieldtrip to a Dentist office. Here is his buddy Aaron brushing the dragon's teeth.

I love this, when we started snapping photos, Benjamin totally stood out in front to make sure he was in the picture.
