Show & Tell

Andrew had show and tell at school yesterday. Because his name starts with an A he was one of the first kids to do show & tell. "His" day consisted of being the line leader all day, bringing a snack, holding the flag, praying, and show & tell. I came to watch during the show & tell part and he was adorable. He wanted to bring his monkeys to show his friends which is kind of funny because they stay in his bed, but he never really plays with them or mentions them. Nate and I were a little surprised when he said he wanted to bring them. He showed his classmates his mommy monkey and his teacher asked him questions like, "what's your mommy & daddy's name? do you have any pets?" She also asked, "does anyone else live at your house besides mommy & daddy?" His response, "Parker and Evan." I laughed a bit because these are his friends names, but I then stepped in and asked him what his sister's name was and he responded. He was a bit shy but you could tell he was excited too.

He loved when they played the music ("I am a Promise") and danced the whole time!

Showing all of his classmates his monkey.

Telling everyone about his family.

The teacher is teaching the kids to recognize their written name. She holds up each kids name on a notecard and when they see their name they are supposed to raise their hand.

Andrew also got to pray for class that day. His teacher asked him if he wanted to pray and he said yes. He was very quiet and she asked him if he wanted help and he said yes so she started to pray and he was supposed to repeat her, but when someone whispers to him, his response is to repeat the words in a whisper. Kinda funny! Such a fun morning getting to visit him at school.
