Danielle is a wonderful, cheerful first year student who finds delight in working with the youngest children at The #REAL Program. We often find Danielle in the middle of a board game or coloring with our art-inspired group when we are indoors but we also find her in the middle of a jump rope game or Duck, Duck Goose outside.
Jonathan is a preschooler who enthusiastically joins us every Monday and Wednesday at Congregation Ahabat Sholom. Jonathan's first language at home is Mandarin so when he first joined us he spoke only with his school aged cousins until recently. He was understanding everything for a very long time. When our young students enter the building their next step is to get a bushel basket to place their belongings in (our version of a portable locker or cubbie) and they enter what we refer to as study hall. They almost have it down that everyone sits down at a table and we take the attendance for the day. The next question is who has no homework today. Invariably, Jonathan says, "Mr. Brown. I don't have any homework today." It simply makes everyone smile.
