Ella's mom, Pam, visited with our PreK class today to share her role as a community helper. Pam is a Principal in an elementary school in Lower Merion . Pam explained that her job is very similar to Crissy's job at AFS and she began our conversation by asking the children to participate in a 'whip' where each child has the opportunity to say one thing they learned from Crissy's visit earlier in the month. She was looking to help the children make connections between her role and that of Crissy's. Some of the reflections that surfaced about Crissy's visit were:
"She smiles a lot."
"...walks a lot"
"... cares a lot."
" ... loves a lot."
" ... writes a lot."
' ... types a lot."
" ... talks a lot."
" ... take care of the school."
Pam shared with the children how amazed she was of how similar her job and Crissy's job really were! She also walks, cares, loves, writes, types, and talks A LOT!!
Pam prepared a beautiful binder with a story that she wrote that describes a day in her life at work as a Principal. Pam used photographs of students, faculty and staff from her school to illustrate her story. The children drew several connections between her job and Crissy's job and delighted in hearing about her work. We learned that Pam also used to be a teacher and that she also loves working with children, families and teachers.
