 I'm just thinking when I was a parent so many years ago coming without knowing language, the English language or anything, what would I give to have such a program and be involved in it? Where it was more the cultural shock and so now we have so many ELL kids that not to say that they need to learn academics, but they need to learn what our culture is and what we expect in school because in some countries when you give a child to a teacher, he or she is your job. Where here they learn it's not really a parent involvement is important. Definitely does put all families on the same page where it is like this is what is expected in kindergarten and with ELL families it's huge for them to see what are the expectations in kindergarten and education is very important but they don't know how to help their kids. They're struggling, they came from different cultures struggle with language and then to know what is expected in our schools it's a huge thing. The parent gets the same knowledge what we need to do for the kids before going to kindergarten and what are the things we need to be prepared for the kids. When I first brought my child here, I mean this is my first son that is going to school so I had no idea of what I should expect. So you know being through the readiness for kindergarten it taught me a lot of things you know how I should you know prepare them for school the things that they need to know before they get to kindergarten and so also kind of guided me in the kind of things I need to teach them back at home before they get to school. So I think it is important my knowledge about school, about school for the year for my child. Like this program helps a lot because at first they be scared of saying we need to go to school, they start crying but as soon as he spent the first second weeks now as soon as Monday came they said this is my time to go to school today is the Monday, time to go to school is happy. This class can improve the skills to go to the kindergarten. It was amazing to see the changes from the first two sessions to the third. We have this gearing up for kindergarten which is great and it got him ready for the kindergarten round up and after that the light bulb has just been turned on and he is singing his ABCs and counting without being prompted and he is so ready now and I think this program has helped a lot just to get us there. The biggest change is that now that she's been in the classroom she's been in the environment they've practiced lining up quietly in the halls and washing hands and kind of gone through that and now she's very, very comfortable with the idea and actually is asking when do I get to start kindergarten do we have kindergarten class again tonight and runs in here and is excited. As much as it is academically, social emotionally and getting them ready with the routines like I noticed at the beginning the first session they would come a little shy holding their parents hand and then by the third session they were confident coming in, taking their name tags, signing their name. Most of the time my kid won't interact with elders but you know coming in for the kindergarten has made him learn how to interact with other children. He stays at home with me so he's never been in the daycare or preschool environment so this is the really first time for him to be with the kids and he's excited every week he tells about the school we call it school already and he's very excited every week. He knows that he's getting prepared for kindergarten he knows that kindergarten is exciting like it's something that him and all of the kids are doing together right now to get him ready for next year so I think it's just kind of fun for him that we'll all go pick him up and he'll say mom Paxton is here he's in gearing up for kindergarten too and I think he's developing lots of friendships and they're going through this process together and they're getting ready for kindergarten together and I think that's pretty exciting for him.
