Read HSA USA’s new blog - Ben’s One Pager for School

16 December 2011

When Ben was three, I developed a one pager for him to take to his new preschool teachers. It turned out Ben was more interested in his page than his teachers. It had pictures of dinosaurs and whales on it.  As I look back at his three year old page, I see many similarities - hugs for teachers is still one of the highlights of Ben's day, dinosaurs, whales and now prehistoric sharks are passions of his…and we are just beginning to get into dragons.

Dec 11What has changed, is him seeing himself as an "expert" in all things dinosaurs and really prehistoric life. Every year at his school, there is a dinosuar week - for two weeks! These two weeks are the highlight of Ben's year other than his birthday and Christmas. He has been reading about all things prehistoric since he was 2 ½ (well Mom has been reading to him). He is quite the expert among other five year olds and some teachers. He brings some of his dinosaur books, fossilized shark teeth, and fossilized whale/dolphin bones home with him.
