Not Again

Friday's Kindergarden class came back, but we were ready for them this time. There was only one meltdown, one sneakage of bugs into the room, and one close call.

As the teacher reviewed names, one boy shouted out, "No! His name is Lady Gaga!"
The boy pointed to immediately began to cry, saying over and over, "I am not Lady Gaga! That's not my name!"

I don't blame you, kid. I'd have had the same response.

Cheeky

The kindergardeners at the school where I'm interning have some serious sass to them. My supervising teacher says they're "cheeky." Friday I got a taste of that.

One of the songs we were teaching them had a solo part where each kindergardener responded alone (good assessment tool!).
The song went like this:
"Is So-and-so knocking on my door?"
And So-and-so would answer either yes or no in a simple sol-me pattern.

Before starting the song, we did a quick name review. We went around the circle, and each kid said his name (mostly for my sake!).

Sophie, Josh, Tyler, Annabelle, etc.
A handful of normal names.

And then...

Justin Bieber.
Lady Gaga.

I kid you not.
