What Did You Learn at School Today, Ethan?
A day in the life of a Kindergartner...
Today, as I do everyday, I asked Ethan what he learned in school. Most days, he simply says,"I don't know...I can't remember." Today, however, he had 2 bowls of Lucky Charms cereal in the morning and somehow remembered everything.
"I learned about decomposers. The first decomposer is a worm and the second
decomposer is a cockroach. They eat leaves, banana peels, orange peels, other bugs, and sticks. The worm has no eyes, a light sensor, a huge mouth, no legs and five hearts. All of the worms in the whole world are boys and every worm in the whole world is a girl. They are all boys and girls at the same time!"
"Cockroaches feel scaly, smooth and a little bumpy. Every cockroach in the whole world is not a boy. Some are girls and some are boys. Both of the decomposers eat their dead friends to turn them back into dirt for new plants to grow."
"Ethan, that's a lot of information. Can I write down everything you told me today about worms and cockroaches?"
"Yea, I better sit next to you in case you forget something that I told you."

Maybe you can be a spokesperson for Lucky Charms. That was a pretty good plug.
