Penguins are cute but not as cute as Kindergarteners!

This evening I received a call from a Kindergarten student at home! It wasn’t about when swimming starts (it’s on our class blog GoogleCalendar which her family is subscribed to), it wasn’t about birthday cupcakes, it was about blogging! She is a very keen student who loves to read and write. Tonight she wanted a little coaching because she couldn’t quite remember how to insert a picture into her blog post tonight (6:30pm!!!). With a little help from her dad (who she helped out with the techie words) together her dad and her were able to post a picture of a penguin and she was able to create a post. That is an amazing home/school connection where a child is teaching her family about what she is learning at school and they are learning along with her.

Some days my job is really amazing!
