The month of October is vastly coming to a close. We hope that all of our blog parents are enjoying the autumn season. And we certainly hope that our prescholars are enjoying their school semesters! With one month into the fall semester all ready gone bye, we would love to hear how your child’s semester is shaping up.
As you can see via the gap in my blog posts, we’ve been very busy. Aside from engaging in cross cultural communication with our Mandarin studies, we’ve enjoyed field trips, and Open House kindergarten visits. But most of all, we’ve enjoyed the vast array of communication we’ve experienced with teachers, students and other parents.
Networking with other parents facilitates the social lives of our prescholars as common ground is unearthed, and expectations are conveyed. In addition, surprisingly enough, networking with parents can perhaps increase employment prospects, if you’re currently in the market. We encourage you to keep blogging parents, and to keep conversing with your children, and the parents of their classmates! bwrightparents
high tuition bills, textbook costs & no not for my daughter in college, for my daughter in Preschool! it must be cheaper to stay at home with the kids, except we cannot afford it nearly 20k in credit card debit + morgage. need I say more . . . oh by the way the teachers are loving at my daughter's Preschool.
ReplyDeletetalk - I'm ready to have the bank bail me out of my car loan. On a serious note, Preschool may not be well worth the price tag if you can do without a few luxury items - stay home with the kids instead!
ReplyDeletemy son has completed Preschool, but I have fond memories of talking with parents/teachers, baking, birthday parties and playdates. of course that was sometime ago, and not during an economic downturn, rather during an economic boom (roaring 90s). in my opinion preschool/pre-k is so wonderful for the children and parents alike, so build a community out of it.
ReplyDeletetotally agree with picking the kid . . . Preschool rocks! at least for my household. building the bonds of friendship should start early in life, and that's what we set out to do with our little one. Yes I'm a stay at home mum, but we still opted for half days of preschool and we've met some great parents who we now call friends.
ReplyDelete"Let's Talk" sounds like a lot of dual parent households out there. Anyone out there have scheduling issues like myself, a single mom? School ends early in my district. Although there is talk of afterschool hours, because the economy has forced both parents into the work force, afterschool hours are still up in the air for us.
ReplyDeleteLuv Luv Luv the network of friends that I've met at my son's school. Thank God the kids and parents are well adjusted - that truly makes a difference. Hope the kiddies can enter the same kindergarten. Halloween is just another reason for us parents to get together with the kids & teachers at school.
ReplyDeletePatrick - why discuss car note bail out and staying at home - what a paradox. In a dual income household maybe a car note bail out would not become topic of the day.
ReplyDeletemy child's favorite teacher left - weeping & hoping her replacement is just as good as she was.
ReplyDeleteHi Bridgette, my kids are in middle and high school. My son's playing football in middle school and my daughter is a proud "A+" high school junior. I have no little ones any more but when preschoolers grow up we must continue to pour into them. It's an investment that will pay off for them and us as parents.
