~~ The Halsted Herald~~: Monkeys On The Loose!

Grayson’s preschool is the most amazing little group.

There are only 5 kids in the class (Hello? Yes, 5! Awesome!), the parents are all terrific and his teacher, ahhh, his teacher….where do I begin? There aren’t enough positive words to describe her. She is extremely patient, unbelievably brilliant with her ideas/crafts/lesson plans; I’ve never met anyone who comes up with such creative and educational games. She is incredibly spiritual and includes blessings, songs, and kiddo-version bible study into her curriculum, she is tri-lingual (and teaching the kids in each one!) and her classroom is immaculately spick-and-span, with everything labeled and bright colored. To say this lady is spectacular is cutting it short. We are extremely blessed to have Grayson with her and I can’t wait for Delaney to join the group next year.

Another spectacular thing about this little group is the flexibility and availability to stray from the classroom. Last week Miss Maria, all five kids (plus Delaney and Julia's little brother Luke) and all the Mommas played hooky and took an educational trip to the zoo.

It’s well documented on this blog how much we love our zoo, but to see Grayson’s interaction with Miss Maria and all his classmates was another side to our well-traveled outing. We all had such a great time and I can’t wait until our classroom Pumpkin Patch outing in a few weeks!

Hugs for the baby lion. This is a true representation of Laney...everyone gets hugs. Everyone.
