Real Stories from the Minds of Kindergarteners

A group of kindergarteners had huddled around the lego table the other day and were testing their creative minds.  One boy, Brady, had created a space ship and was traveling through space (and telling the world that he was doing so).  An adorable girl next to him, Tiara, suddenly got a huge glow on her face and announced, "I've been to space before!"  Brady replied, "Really? You have?  When? What was it like?"  Tiara again responded, now with everyone's attention (for we all wanted to hear where she was going with this) "I've been to space before! I went with my sister, and she slept the whole time!"

Brady's older sister who was in the room for a moment asked, "Tiara, do you mean an airplane?"  Tiara replied, "Yes!  I've been to space before! It was fun!"

After school care:  a group of kids were playing 4-square with some of the kindergartner's in aftercare. The two kindergarteners that I was supervising were Ella and Erik.  Ella had made her way to the King of Four Square position (square #1) and Erik was in Square number four.  Ella bounced the ball towards Erik and it "slammed" the ground in Erik's square and bounced back up in the air.  On it's way down it lightly made a temporary pit stop on the top of Erik's head before returning to the ground.  The rest of the kids kindly informed Erik that he was out.  On his cheerful way back to the line, he kept shaking his little head saying, "I can't believe a girl did that to me."
