Ask your Kindergartener about the new game we played in PE. This game was the result of a round table discussion with K and 1st grade teachers at Teacher's Convention. I honestly get the most stuff I can use in the classroom from this sectional. There are about 15-20 teachers in the room and we basically talk about anything and everything; disciplining, teaching letters and sounds, new technology, PE games, art projects, etc. Well, the minute I heard about this game, I couldn't wait to teach the kids and play it. Ask them- we laughed the entire time:) So much fun!
As the kids came in from recess today they were talking to each other- as they often do- and I find their conversations fascinating. They started talking about Santa Claus and they all agreed that they don't believe in Santa Claus, and one student piped up, "We don't believe in Santa Claus, we believe in God." They then started talking about Halloween and how many of the costumes they see are "freaky" and they do NOT like them at all. And.... people actually come to your door and ask for candy! Another student then stated emphatically that if you don't give them candy, they might come back to your house and play tricks on you. All the kids were properly horrified by that. They then talked about Barack Obama for a bit. Their conversations often show such an understanding with a childlike faith. Love these kids!
