Gingerbread Man

An opening came up at Matty’s preschool in the academic class so Matty checked it out and decided to join in place of his art and science clubs. He really loves being in the “Gingerbread Class” and what’s not to love? His classroom looks like a cute gingerbread house and his teacher Miss Laura is sweet as candy. They have quite the full curriculum and do lots of paper projects and focus a lot on Math- Matty’s two favorites. The teacher said she’s had to make their math games trickier since Matty joined the class because he can figure out the answers faster than the other kids. (He definitely gets that from his daddy!) The other day I heard him say, “Bonjour Mes Ami” to his friend. I guess they are learning French too?! Since he only attends two days a week the teacher sends him home with ‘homework’ that he misses out on MWF. He loves to do his homework and is bummed if Miss Laura doesn’t send any home in his folder. He’s learned to keep it up high after last week when Katie “helped” and colored all over his work. This week he got to bring home the class puppy “Mocha” to take care of. It’s a Webkinz stuffed puppy so he feeds it online and writes about their adventures together in a journal Mocha carries in her cage. Now that’s a family pet i could handle!
