Thank God for TEACHERS!

I picked Erik up from Preschool yesterday. The whole class comes outside and sits on the steps of the preschool and each parent goes up one at a time to get their child. When the kids came out, they were all wearing Native Amerian headbands with a Phesant feather sticking out. It was so cute. They had been doing a whole Thanksgiving unit. I had heard different bits and pieces over the last few weeks but yesterday he came home with a whole bunch of stuff he had made, a house for the pilgrims, a tepee and a canoe for the Native American's and a necklace to represent harvest. They also sent home a bunch of qustions about the first Thanksgiving and Erik knew the answers to ALL of them. I am so glad I'm paying someone else to teach him. I would not have thought what to do to teach him about that and yet he gets it from his teacher. It is so rewarding when your child learns something and understand a piece of history.
