I feel so fortunate to live in Alameda where we have an amazing preschool program offered through the Park and Recreation Department. Max has learned so much this year -- both academically and socially. I am so grateful to his patient, creative teachers, especially the head teacher, Ms. Vee.
Today's culminating "ceremony" and luau potluck was a typical Ms. Vee production -- creative, fun, organized, and age-appropriate. I will never understand how that woman manages to produce so much with a group of three and four-year-olds. People sometimes marvel that I used to teach middle schoolers, but I'll tell you -- those twelve and thirteen-year-olds have nothing on a rowdy group of crying, hyper, overly-enthusiastic, toy-flinging, bathroom-flooding preschool boys and girls.
Thank you, Ms. Vee, and thank you Park and Rec. for a wonderful year! We can't wait to see what is in store for Max over the summer and next year.
