Our Lower School Director ,Crissy, Visits Pre K

The excitement and joy that the children have been experiencing as family members visit our classroom to share their jobs and roles in the community is so wonderful to observe. One of our thoughts in exploring community with the children this year, was to build and develop a sense of community within our very own classroom as well as with our community of families. The connections and relationships between home and school are so very important for the children, for families and for our AFS community at large. We have had so many fantastic experiences with families visiting to share with our children and the pride and joy that the children feel when their families are involved in their world of PreK is quite remarkable to witness.

At this point, the children are asking and initiating invitations for their family member to come into our class and share! We welcome the time and so appreciate the support and enthusiasm for our program. We are building relationships and developing the closer connections that we value so dearly at AFS. Thank you...Thank you.....

Today, Crissy, Kailyn's mom and our Lower School Director visited with our PreK to talk about her job and responsibilities at AFS. Before her visit, we read the book Principals by Melanie Mitchell and learned about some of the responsibilities of principals. The children practiced listening skills during the read aloud and learned a few new facts about the role of a principal. We thought this would be a good way to prepare for our visit with Crissy.

Crissy's visit was wonderful! The children loved listening to Crissy describe a typical morning in the life of a director of Lower School at AFS. We realized early on that there is never a really typical day and that Crissy's schedule changes according to the needs of the children and families all day long! We learned that Crissy loves children and she loves working with children and families.

One of the questions the children asked was, " What do you like the best about your job" to which Crissy responded;

" In my job I talk alot

I walk alot

I write alot

I care alot

I laugh alot"

We really enjoyed Crissy's visit and the time she shared with us in the classroom!
