Sharing Something Special!

This week is the second 'Sharing Day' project that Dylan has done for Kindergarten. This week his project was to learn the words and hand movements for his, 'I Am Special' song. He also needed to think of something that his friends don't know about him and tell them what that is for something special about him.
Dylan has been really intimidated recently and asking a LOT about why he was a tiny baby. More on the in depth story later......but we were talking about what he would write down and I wasn't quite sure he understood about telling his peers something about him that they may not know. So I asked him if he would like to tell his friends about how he was a tiny baby? His eyes perked up and I also gave him another suggestion and he said he wanted to tell them about how he was a tiny baby. So over the course of 4 nights we helped him learn the song and the hand gestures to the song also. He has them down pretty good, but you know it is a lot to remember to sing the correct words AND do the hand gestures also! On the second night I helped him draw a dollar bill and part of his sharing is that he is going to......well, how about you watch and see!!
We are SO proud of him! Daddy came home tonight as we were practicing and had tears in his eyes seeing the final project! Dylan will sing this song and share his drawing tomorrow on his sharing day in front of his class!!! I LOVE that they are doing weekly sharing projects like this and I have had SO much fun helping him each week! With it only being the second week of school I am already excited to help him with his next sharing day project next week. One proud mama here :-)
