Kintropy In Action

Hannah’s eyes lit up like silver dollars and we strolled into the school. She said "Hi" and waved at everyone she saw. One of the things I like about the school is how the classrooms are decked out in children’s art including things hanging from the ceiling. Hannah spent time staring at the ceilings   trying to figure out what they were all about.

I sat her on the floor and three little girls surrounded and stared at her while she stared back. The teacher on duty Gabriel’s last pre-school teacher said. "This is pretty normal for a new child joining the group." A few of the boys brought Hannah toys, which she proceeded to put in her mouth.

When the kids walked away Hannah rolled onto her stomach and got up on all fours. I could see her trying to figure out how to move. She wanted to be where the other kids were.

I stayed around for the transition to music class. This particular school has two buildings across the parking lot from each other. So the kids have to line up and do a little field trip to the next building. When we went to the other building we paraded through more fun looking rooms to a room decked out in a theme of a well traveled explorer. There were all kinds of artifacts around the room. In it’s center was a thin women smiling and cradling a guitar. She started out the session with singing John Denver’s song "Grandma’s Feather Bed" Hannah and I love John Denver.

She then said it was the kids turn to strum the guitar. It was great with no hesitation she walked up to Hannah, took her hand and strummed it across the guitar. Hannah was ecstatic.
