Debby gathered some comments from her students about their experience with OES's youngest learners. Here is what they had to say:
"I absolutely loved working with the Pre-K. Coco inspired me to
see glitter in a new light and to truly appreciate the value of pumpkins and
poorly drawn zebras."
"I enjoyed it.
Addie was so like me, it was so fun getting to know her. There is a lot going
on with all of them, they can be a bit of a handful for sure J… but I think
working with little kids was a highlight of class."
"I appreciated
the occasional break from the classroom & the partnership gave me valuable
experience with little children."
"I LOVE Carl. He is great."
"I thought it
was awesome! They really came out of their shells and connected with us."
"Very
cool! Sally was so sweet ...Great to see them and get a break from the
day and see their smiles."
"Very
worthwhile. Great to take a break from college apps, classes, and other
stressors to spend time with them."
"Very fun.
Looking forward to next semester."
"Jane is super
sweet and I'll always remember her and her friend Karlee trying to eat
spaghetti out of my favorite book Strega Nona."
"Super fun experience, definitely a
highlight of my senior year."
