Jerry

Jerry has come quite a long way since the first days of morning kindergarten many moons ago. He started off being kind of a loner who never wanted to talk to anyone, especially the teachers. He didn't always have the best of moods and stayed away from the teachers. But luckily he decided to get over his fears and has developed some pretty amazing English skills in the last couple of months.

We find that song works quite well for teaching the kids such important phrases like, "True to your heart." Jerry was able to pick up quite well on this song and it wasn't until we began learning this song that I realized how impressive his English had become. He has the capability to request this song whenever the urge to sing it hits him, which is quite often.

We also found out that he has got a pretty good little smile too, even if all you see is one eye and crazy teeth and no he isn't telling me to die in this picture he is trying to be Captain Hook. You see the outing to Peter Pan introduced an entire week of language based on the Disney classic.

It is also a great thing that we have the gym rotation in kindergarten because it allows the children to beef up and then show off their muscles to one another. Jerry is by no means the strongest but his personality has been growing on us. I think we are also fans of his hair being a little shorter, like that pictured above. Oh, Happy Fourth of July, I'm somewhere in Thailand right now.
