Meet the Teacher

Tonight was Isaac's "Meet the Teacher" night before he starts Kindergarten on Thursday. He is so excited it's like he's on speed or something. He can't walk anywhere - he only runs. Bouncing off the walls is an understatement. He is just so pumped about it that he can't calm down.

Tonight, we met his teacher, Mrs. Hancock. She seems like a nice lady and we've heard good things about her. We're looking forward to an exciting school year.

Isaac is pretty far ahead academically - he can read, add, subtract, multiply, tell time, count money, etc. - but Kindergarten will be a good experience for him socially. I hope he learns how to make friends, how to talk to adults, how to interact with people socially, and most importantly, how to treat others with respect and love.

From my brief encounter with Mrs. Hancock, I think she will foster an environment of love in that Kindergarten room. That is what I hope and pray she will be able to do.

At Isaac's age, academics are great, but learning how to love people is a principle I hope he masters for use throughout his lifetime.
