Caldwell has a cool program for Dads. They can volunteer their time and spend a day at the school. The dads help all around the building. Typical duties include: recess, lunch duty, reading tutor, patrolling the halls, car duty and more. Their day is coordinated with their child so they spend time with them. Sarah got to introduce her dad during morning announcements. Sarah has been begging Mike to do this for a while. She was ecstatic this morning. They both wore the official watchdog shirt. Mike says the day went well. I'm sure he will blog about it. I am so proud of him. It is a great program. The kids and teachers are used to their presence and love to have their help. As a volunteer and sub I love seeing the men there. They provide a male role model where there is often not one. Caldwell does not have one man on staff currently. I have seen how some kids bond with the men who come often. Honestly, I think all parents should spend a day volunteering just to see what really happens in those classrooms.
I made beef stew in the crock-pot today. Delicious! It smelled heavenly when I came in. The puppies were about to have a nervous breakdown. The smell was driving them crazy. Shy little Dean was in my face begging for a bite. They enjoyed a bowl mixed with their kibble. I received rave reviews from the canines.
