Drew's Community (a month late in posting 11/16/2010)

Hi all...so, I am behind again!  I really thought after my class finished on December 1st that I was going to have all of this extra time....who was I kidding??  With all of the kids activities, Christmas shopping..oh yeah, and my full time job, I really donot have any extra time at all!  Anyways, Drew goes to a really neat Museums Magnet school where they get to go on all sorts of fun fields trips and do several community based projects where they really figure out how they fit into the world.  The Kindergarten classes theme was "around town" and each class was responsible for their own centers...bringing in supplies, building, painting, etc.  Drew's class picked a hockey rink, hospital, farm, and sweet shoppe (there may have been a couple others).  Since I work at the hospital, I was able to supply the class with all sorts of fun "Baby" medical supplies.  I had to work the night that they shower off their community, but Julian was able to go and hang out with Drew, who was so proud to show off his hard work!  I was a little uncertain of the magnet program at the start of the year, but they have blown me away with what they are teaching the kids about being a part of our wonderful world!
