When I grow up I want to be...

We were learning how to read and spell:
me
he
she
we
be
We thought of sentences using those words.
I said, "When Grace grows up she wants to be a doctor."
Suhani quickly added, "and I want to be a princess."
I winked and said, "You already are a princess!"

Ted's non-adventure

What happened was this:
The temperature has dropped and Ted said it was time for his annual hibernation.
He had a huge pre-hibernation meal consisting of a whole salmon, a hot dog (weird!), cheddar cheese, a pineapple, an eggplant and some fresh water.

He got his teddy, Grace tucked him in and
he started a good old hibernation.
















Ted slept, and slept and slept.

Use of Glue

On the way to the bathroom with glue on his hands, Rodrigo complained to D. Emília that I am always telling the children to use glue and that one day his fingers might remain stuck together. He said that it was dangerous!

Giggles

Lourenço and Zé Pedro were giggling while they were drawing.
I looked over and they giggled some more.
Giggles continue.
I walk over.
The boys look up with broad smiles.
"Estávamos a falar em inglês!"
More giggles...

This was funny, but very true. The children are starting to talk
spontaneously among themselves in English. Well done!

Why is music important?

Why should children be exposed to learning a musical instrument even if they do not become musicians?
