Third Chapter

   

The Catholic Preschool

These are some of the funny moments that I remember from preschool.  First, I will never forget how loving and caring they were for all of us youngster every day for an entire school year.  Next, I always won’t forget how much time they took teaching just the simple lessons in life that we all desperately needed to learn.  Also, I won’t ever forget all of the musicals that we did during the Christmas season.  I remember making a lot of friends that I didn’t want to part with when it came to the end of that year.  The teachers always had different crafts and games planned for every day of the week that were so fun in so many unique ways.  It was also fun to go the park and play on the huge playground after school on many occasions.  My brother and two sisters would also like having picnics out in the grass at the park there in Portland Oregon.  There were a lot of nice kids in the class.  I know that my brother, sister, and myself always loved going back day after day.  I can’t forget about all the teacher’s assistants who played such an important roll in teaching us every class period.

     Now I will mention many of the fun activities and lessons that we participated in during the classes.  One is that we spent a lot of time learning how to draw and color our favorite cartoon characters.  Also, they would read us many funny short stories.  They would ask us questions from the stories to make sure we would be listening the stories instead of thinking about other things such as what me might be doing after class or what might happen after story time that day.  Our teacher also spent a lot of valuable time teaching how to learn the alphabet so we could start learning how to at least right out our name and sometimes other short words that we might of known really well.  We also were taught how to be kind to the others around us in the class.  I know we also enjoyed the many fun times we were able to have out side on the playground.  There was always great snacks after our outside playtime provided by either the teachers or a particular kids parents would volunteer to bring something in to share with the rest of the class for each day we had that class.  Those are the many fun memories from preschool that I will never forget to come back to throughout the rest of my life.
