I have not blogged in a long long time...once again.
Time has gone by............and now Lauren is four. So many children are going to preschool at the age of four, but not Lauren. I sometimes feel like I am not doing the right thing by not sending her off to preschool. I know of one person who would be on my side, and that is Dr. Laura. So I must be definitely doing something right.
I'm not against preschool. In fact, next fall we will most likely put her in preschool, since she won't be going to kindergarten for another year and a half.
But, for now I am her teacher. I have to say, I am a strict, but nice teacher. Maybe a little like my mom, who was a junior high school English teacher in my hometown. Luckily, Lauren hasn't learned to come up with any nicknames for me, like my mom's students did. My mom was known as "Goda", which was very clever because it goes well with the last name, Hale. Goda Hale. Get it?
Whatever the case, at least Lauren seems to like me and I like her.
There are so many positive things about not sending her to preschool yet.
1. I get to spend time with her.
2. She isn't learning more bad behaviors than she already knows.
3. I get to teach her what I want her to learn.
For example, we are working on the Pledge of Allegiance:
So far, Lauren is my best student. She might receive an A+ too.
