We are beyond blessed to have had this remarkable lady in our children's lives. Mrs. Knight has been a precious teacher to our children while at Oak Park. She teaches the Gifted and Talented class and she is unbelievable at her job. The way she cares about these children and teaches them to care about each other is beautiful. She challenges their brains but also fosters their emotional intelligence and are hearts are breaking that we are graduating our last child from Oak Park.
In public school, we use Wishing Wells to do our prayer requests. "We wish you well."
Addison's wishing well was that I could bend down and not wear my break brace. (This was written during my back surgery). Sweet baby!
She got her wish and I am recovered and well! Praise God!
I was privileged to volunteer in Mrs. Knight's classroom many days so I could see her interacting with our kiddos and it is magical.
This project involved the children, putting together a motor and attaching a sharpie marker, and by adjusting weights and direction, etc. they could get the motor on the car working and then have the car draw with the marker on the sheet. This was so fun to watch. The classes are small, only a handful of kids so the way they can talk out the problem and find a solution together was awesome.
This is Addison's buddy Dario. Addison called him the mechanic because when her motor acted up, Dario was great at helping find solutions. This is the beauty of this program. They all encourage each other's strengths and it is a time to learn, experiment and encourage. Not just test, test, test.
