Ambition

Beeju's school had a parents-only event tonight. The first part was a meeting for everyone in the cafeteria to introduce us to all of the teachers and staff and have a brief presentation by the PTO chair. Then we all separated into our individual classrooms to have a presentation by the teacher. As a side note, Noah's teacher has so far been amazing! We are SO lucky to have such a great school with great teachers right in our neighborhood. I hope the boys never have to change elementary schools. But that's not the point of this post...

In Noah's classroom, there's a chart on the back wall entitled, "What we want to learn in kindergarten." Then going down the chart is each child's name and a brief phrase about what they want to learn. A lot of the answers were "Mary - how to read" or "John - how to tell time." One boy put "how to be a Power Ranger." My boy was a bit more aggressive with his goal. "Noah - how to drive daddy's and mommy's cars." Atta boy, Champ!

One of Noah's friends was a bit more content to let the teacher dictate whatever she wanted: "Tanner - stuff." I love kindergarten!

Heck ya, I'll teach him. Forget about reading, writing and arithmetic...let's find out how fast he can go 0 to 60. You may want to stay away from the church parking lot next Saturday. We'll be practicing parallel parking.
