Miss Meggie Teaches Preschool...

As the final project for Meggie's Child Development class, she and her classmates had to create activities for a Preschool Play Day, invite a bunch of real preschoolers, and...and...and keep them all from killing each other or catching the high school on fire, I guess. The high schoolers were graded individually on their performance during the Play Day and on their interactions with the kids.

I picked Carson up from his "real" preschool after lunch and brought him to the high school to be one of Miss Meggie's students. As we pulled up, I was impressed to see the high schoolers went through the trouble to decorate the entrance for the little ones.
I dropped Carson off and left. I didn't want to stay because I wanted Miss Meggie to have to be the authority figure with Carson, not me. When I came back, here is what I saw...
...Carson sitting in Miss Meggie's lap, listening attentively to the student at the front of the room. Bravo, Miss Meggie! How DID you get him to be attentive? After the speaker thanked the preschoolers for their cooperation and dismissed them to their parents, Carson dug into his goody bag and found...
...a whistle?! What were the high schoolers thinking when they put THAT in a goody bag? Yikes! Anyway, I thought I'd grab a picture of Miss Summer and Miss Meggie at their activity table where the kids decorated foam visors.
Since the high schoolers had to clean up the mess made by the preschoolers, Carson and I headed out to the parking lot to kill a little time...
...and he got awfully irritated with the slow pace of the clean-up...
...because he knew we were headed to his favorite dessert spot when Meggie was finished...
...our local ice cream shop housed in a giant ice cream cone!
In that last picture, I believe he was saying, "Come on, Mommy. Stop taking pictures. I want ICE CREAM!"
Ahhhhh, that's better!

Oh and by the way...Meggie got an "A" on her final project. Knowing her and her awesome way with kids, you can't tell me you're surprised.
