Kids are Funny

Sweet Daughter is building with the marble run stuff while Sweet Son is building with Legos.

Sweet Daughter: Brother can you help me?
Sweet Son: (without turning around) No I'm building a crane.
Sweet Daughter: Please Brother? I need to stabilize the base.
Sweet Son: Oh! It's an engineering problem. I can help with that.




Today the kids and I were discussing rules versus laws and different types of consequences (natural versus authoritative). The kids had to come up with their own rule or law, the consequence, and label the type. Sweet Daugher came up with "don't pour water on the floor" with the consequence of "trouble" and it was an authoritative type. Sweet Son came up with "no soliciting" with a consequence of "lost business because it's annoying and lost money because we don't read it anyway and it's killing trees" and then he got stuck on the type of consequence that was. Right.




The kids did a sheet titled "My Wants and Needs" as part of their Kindergarten work. The directions were to list 5 things they need and 5 things they want and number them from most important (1) to least important (10).
