#Prek

[random-alien-winn]

Schools been back in session for several months now. You know what that means? More things said/done in self-contained prek.

To be completely honest I mainly make these for me

§

Kid: I love the letter “f!”

Teacher: Me too! My favorite word starts with “f!”

*Adult Laughter*

§

Me: Did you paint on your friends drawing?

Kid: *Jumping in place giggling*

§

Song Ends

Kid 1: Yay!

Me: Did you say “yay?”

Kid 2: Yay!!!

Kid 3: *Throws arms up* YAY!!!!!

§

Kid: ABCs are all done!

Teacher: No, ABCs just started.

§

Kid: Pineapple!

Para: Yeah, pine- wait, no.

Me: That is a feather.

Kid: Pineapple!

Me: Feather.

Kid: PINEAPPLE!

§

Kid: *Holds up toy* Walrus!

Me: That’s Goofy. From Micky Mouse.

Kid: *Shoves Goofy in my face* WALRUS!

§

Teacher: Time to go to the bathroom.

Kid: No! Go to your room!

Teacher: *Laughing* This is my room.

§

Three Year-Old: *Walks up to O.T.* You are just. So. Cute!

§

Kid: what’s dis one? *points at core board*

Me: That one says “no.”

Kid: Dis one?

Me: That one says “different.”

Kid: Dis one?

Me: You’re pointing at “no” again.

This continues for a little bit. They would point at a word, point at no, and point at a different one.

Me: Is “no” your favorite? You keep going back to it.

Kid: *Points at yes, immediately goes back to no*

§

Kid: *Playing in sensory table* Sand!

Me: That’s water.

Kid: *Happily* Sand!

§

Me: Playground is all done! Time to go inside.

Kid: *Drops, laying on the ground* No, no, no, no-

Me: *Checks pockets* Here, have a feather.

Kid: *Takes feather and begins walking with me* Tickle, tickle!

§

Kid: *Dumps entire basket of play food* *Growling voice* Who did that?

§

Kid: *Counting* Seven crybabies….

§

Kid: *pokes bruise on my leg* Why you run into stuff?

Me: It was an accident. I’m okay!

Kid: You gotta go to the hospital!

§

Kid: It’s Ms. Nugget!

Para #1: No, it’s [Speech Therapist].

§

Teacher: Oh, there’s a pumpkin in my butt!

§

Kid: *Playing Tag* Get the girl!

§

Me: Hey, I passed that autism test with flying colors!

Coworker: *Laughing* You’re not supposed to pass it. Me too though.

§

Kid: *Quietly chanting* Grandma, Grandma.

Me: Grandma?

Kid: *Holding three baby dolls* It’s where the babies are.

§

Kid: I wanna go pee with my friends!

Me: That’s not- how do I phrase this?

§

Kid: Playground!

Me: Bus.

Kid: Playground!

Me: Bus.

Kid: *Looks at me for a moment* Bus!

Me: *Holding back excitement* You got it, good job!

It seems so small but for this kid to suddenly understand that in that context the other word fit better? I’m still so proud of them you have no idea—

(I frequently tell all my kids I’m proud of them, they know)

I just had the most surreal experience

~~~

My kiddos, having some free time in class with music playing: Ms. C, can you play that rock song?

Me: The huh?

My kiddos: The rock song!

Me: The??? What???

*About 10 minutes later, after finally giving up on attempting to solve what the heck they meant, the “rock song” cycles through the playlist*

The song in question, you ask? This:

This is a great product to use with young children. It can be used during morning meeting or circle time to review the days of the week in both English and Spanish. You can also cut out the days to the week for the students to put them in order.

Moments that Shape Us (Our First Christmas as Three)

While finishing my BA in English, I worked as a TA for a Christian preschool class. While I never anticipated teaching preschool myself, through a series of events and signs, God made it so obvious what I was supposed to do. I ended up following a calling that would be one of my greatest blessings. I became qualified and taught my own classes for four years. There were many moments that…

I love watching my #autistic kiddo at prek. Since he's #nonverbal and cannot advocate for himself, and I am privileged enough to have the time (and his teachers just accepted my presence as cannon), I go with him for his limited hours.

It's been about six weeks, and the other kids are starting to learn to speak his language (so to speak). Today, he was tilting his head back and forth (I'm happy to see you! I'm having fun!), and another boy did the same right back. Both of them grinning at the game.

A little girl sees him at the costume box and offers to try hats on him until he finds one he wants. When none will do, she hands him some glasses and is delighted he approves of her choice.

It is, honestly, all a bit overstimulating for him (home life has been *rough*), and I am working with his therapists to mitigate it, and I don't know if public school will be the best choice for him long-term. But, I hope so. I want him to learn about his peers, and I want them to keep learning about him.

Homegirl, it is too early in the school year to already be side eyeing.
