The Bus


Along with preschool open house, parents and kids were given the opportunity to take a short bus ride all together. The bus driver gave all kinds of information while he drove, most of it intended more for parents as motorists than for our the kids. Things like, "women are the most dangerous drivers because they try to drive, put on make-up and talk on the phone at the same time. You laugh, but I see it every morning." He was entertaining and informative, and Micah seems ready and confident for his first school bus ride next week.
Here is Micah with his teacher, Mrs. Isaacs. She did a home visit today, so we got to know her a little better. I think Micah will really like her.

Yay, You!


One of our most recent library book aquisitions is the book Yay, you! by Sandra Boynton. On one of the pages, there are two pictures side by side. One

reads, "Do you want to be terribly busy?" and includes a pictures of the bear character sitting at a desk covered by papers, typing on a computer, clutter all over the room etc. The other page reads, "or not?" with a picture of the bear floating in an inner-tube with a glass of lemonade on his tummy.

I've read the book to all three boys individually now twice and they've each answered in the same way each time.

Micah- Wants "to be terribly busy," Elijah? "or not", and Isaiah just wants the lemonade from the off of the bear's tummy as far as I could tell. :)

Simile Metaphor Collection

Elijah after running: My heart is beating like a coconut rolling down a hill.
Elijah on urination: Pee is like horses galloping out of the gate. Once they get started you just can't stop them.
Elijah: If school were a human I'd give it a wedgie.
Elijah: I am like a hot rod and I just want to be a plain old Ford
Elijah on the fruits of the spirit: I've got them all covered except self-control. Its like a tiny green tomato and the rest are all big ripe ones. Especially love. Its like the biggest tomato we saw in the garden tonight.
