Wednesday September 8: First Day of School, Sierra Vista Preschool
Please enjoy the following interview with Tater Davidson, 4-year-old student in Mrs. Allen's Pre-K class:
(In the car on the way home) "So babe, tell me about yor first day at school!"
"Hmmm... no I don't really want to talk about it now."
(Later that evening) "How about now? Want to tell me what you did at school?"
"Um yeah - we played a lot and my teacher taught me all about centers. There's a writing center and a book center, I mean reading center... that's the big tent thing in the corner. And there's a dramatic play center with all the costumes. And the blocks center. It has blocks. And there's an art center."
"Cool! What's in the art center?"
"It's just art, Mom."
"Oh. Well what about that cool table with beans you can scoop?"
"That's the bean center. Well, she didn't tell me that. She didn't tell me about the beans at all - that's just what I want to call it. There's also a motor box."
"What's that?"
"The motor box has all the toys. Like a bookshelf but with toys. And that's all the centers"
"Did you learn any rules of the classroom?"
"Yeah, but I can just remember one - don't pull the curtains in the reading center. Or it will fall down in a million pieces. Oh yeah, and we have to share."
To conclude the interview, Tater would like to make the following public service announcement:
"This is the school that is at the back of Sierra Vista. If you see a classroom that has a reading center, that is the place. Call 555-4968-688329 if you want to come visit."
