big brother
Gus is three weeks into school, and is loving every minute of it. I wish I could record all that he says about school, so precious are his comments.
The best one to date:
Me: What did you do at school today? Did you have science?
Gus: No, we worked at centers.
Me: What's a center?
Gus: The Whales can go to centers and work on one side of the room, and the Dolphins can go to other centers. You can't go where the Dolphins are or you'll get in trouble. You have to sit in the thinking chair.
Me: Have you ever sat in the thinking chair?
Gus: No.
Me: Why not?
Gus: Because I don't get in trouble. I've never sat in the thinking chair....(pause) but I think!
(note: The class is split into two groups, and each student takes a turn being the 'leader' of their group. Gus is a Whale, and liked being the leader!)
