Lore

I just thought of a funny thing that happened today.  Everyone in the preschool class has "gripe" (coughing with runny noses dripping down their face).  Today in class I asked if anyone wasn't sick.  One girl said she was not sick.  But I reminded her that few hours earlier she had told me that she had a bad cough.  I told the class, we are no longer the preschool class, we are the class of "gripe".  We had a nice giggle over that.

One of the moms came to me this afternoon stating that she was very happy with what her daughter is learning in the preschool class.  Over the weekend her three year old daughter had been reciting bible verses at home.  The mom was surprised and asked where she learned the verse.  Violet responded "Genesis 1:1"  Hahaha!  I told the mom to ask Violet about 1 Timothy 2:13.  Violet knows that one too.  :)

Lorenzo is still working hard every day with me.  We basically have a 1-1 class, but he does bring a friend with him.  I let Lorenzo choose who he wants to bring.  Lucky for me Lorenzo has a great friend in Jarvin.  Jarvin is teaching Lorenzo as much as I am.  I think Jarvin understands that Lorenzo needs the extra help.  Jarvin is younger, but far advanced compared to "Lore" as Jarvin likes to call his buddy.  Jarvin never acts superior or bored.  He doesn't try to answer all of the questions to prove how much he knows.  Jarvin always plays along with every lesson I prepare and gives Lorenzo room to learn, even when it's not much fun.

In the past Lorenzo was a scapegoat.  Kids were always tattling on Lorenzo, even if he did nothing wrong.  I haven't seen any of that lately.  I think it is great that Jarvin and "Lore" are buddies.  Lorenzo seems to get be getting along with everyone much better.  It makes my heart feel good to see Lorenzo doing so well socially.  We still have a ways to go educationally.  But Lorenzo tries hard and has the support of a good friend, so I am very hopeful!
