The day before the first day of school my son and I met with his teacher. She went over what my son would be learning over the year and filled us in on things the kids have done up to date. She got to one particular thing that she was happy with that the kids have spent the last four weeks on. They were split into groups and made to decide on a place that they wanted to do a presentation on. Some did things on places in the United States, while others did different countries. My son wanted in on this immediately. He started in on the teacher immediately asking if she had ever heard of the Benin people and wanted to know if they would be learning about them this year. The teacher seemed to be happy that he was so excited and offered to let my son join in this presentation if he wanted by coming up with his own place that he wanted to share about. He got to work that day and had a good chunk of it done by the first day of school. He went to school with his assignment that he gave himself and got to work while he was there. On day three of school he had to give a presentation to members of the community who come to see them and explain to them about Zimbabwe and the Benin people. He was thrilled. We went and saw the other presentations while he did his presentations. ( Having to explain to each group that came to his table.) He did an excellent job! He was a little quiet but after he got over that he had his facts memorized and had a very informative speech that he prepared himself. I am so proud of him. He did so good.
