Today I volunteered in Donovan's classroom for the second time. It was great - the kids were working on their reading. It is fun to see how his primary (kindergarten) class functions and to get to know some of the other kids. Donovan is not very chatty about school so it is like pulling teeth asking him questions about his day etc. But he is very happy and excited that I am a "special visitor" sometimes. Overall Donovan seems to really like school and he likes his teacher - who is a Mister - a very fun guy and a great role model for the kids.
I'm going to go again next Wed afternoon. It makes for a busy day because Donovan has gymnastics at 4pm on Wednesdays so we come home, have time for a quick snack, and then rush off. Malcolm has been staying at home with his grandparents which has been nice for him. There is no way I could volunteer in the class with Malcolm in tow - he would be like a whirlwind leaving a path of destruction in his wake...
We are bracing for two chilly days of single digit weather before it warms up again for the weekend.
