Eden's Community Helper Fair

Today Eden had her Community Helper Fair at preschool.  They have been learning about community helpers all month and they always end the unit by dressing up as a community helper (she dressed up as an optometrist, of course!) and pretending to do some of the jobs that can be found in their neighborhood. 

 

I was not sure how Eden would react to the different stations (because let's face it- we all know that she is not always a willing participant in new activities!), but she did GREAT!  She got to be paired with one of her favorite classmates, Noah, and had a fun time with him at the fair.  Not one tear was shed and it was nice for me to get to see her interact with other students in a school setting.  She is thriving in Miss Tammy's class this year which is such a comfort when you have a child who is painfully shy. 

 Some of the "jobs" that she enjoyed today were grocery shopper,

 construction worker,

 garbage collector,

 musician,

 baker (which she told me was her favorite!),

 and dentist.

She looked so cute in her almost-too-small, hand-me-down Cleburne Eye Clinic scrubs.  I'm so thankful she had such a great time at the fair!  What a fun way to end community helper month!
