When Dallas and I registered Leo for school and went to the classroom, we immediately were transported back to our time in school and wished we were going back to school. Everyday that Leo comes home and shows us what he has learned, we sit there amazed and reminisced that we don’t remember learning that at his age.
Well, today I got the opportunity to spend the day at school with Leo. When Dallas has volunteered, she is very limited on her time in the classroom and overall involvement. With the Watch DOGS (Dads Of Great Students) program and an early dismissal I got to spend almost an entire half day at school with Leo’s class. By being in the class and being able to interact with the other students and observe my own son I learned a lot about his strengths and weaknesses as a student.
Because of my experience, I have changed my involvement and approach with my son with his homework.
