I just couldn't go today without chronicling what Andrew said as we were driving home from preschool.I had just looked at his sharing calendar and read the note attached. Each month the children in the class get a turn to bring in something to share with the rest of the class. The teachers have requested that the object the children bring be something that corresponds either with the theme for the week, or the letter they are studying.
For the week that Andrew brings in an item the theme is "Fire Safety" and the letter is Cc. So, I was talking to Andrew in the car about what he could bring.
Me: "What do you think you can share about fire safety?"
Andrew: (answering immediately) "Water."
Me: (smiling hugely, and not wanting to just presume I know what he's talking about) "Why water?"
Andrew: "Because if there's a fire, we have to put it out."
Me: "How do we do that?"
Andrew: "We use water."
Me: "You're right, we do use water to put out fires. So, you want to take some water to class and share about how it puts out fires?"
Andrew: "Um, No."
Me: "Okay. What do you want to take to share with your class?"
Andrew: "Uh, yogurt? Oh, no, no, no, no. No, I should .... sharing some yogurt. Mom, I need a lot of yogurt because if I don't have a lot of yogurt, becuase if they don't have any yogurt, I'll bring lots of yogurt and I'll open them and everybody eats. And, [Cuatro] can come too!"
