Quizzes

It's become evident to me that my kids are looking out for me. They test me, and no, I'm not talking ab my patience. They seriously question my knowledge. For instance, one little girl quizzed me about colors by pointing to things in the bathroom (always while they're in the bathroom) and asking me what color it was. Thankfully, I passed with flying colors. Ha Pun intended. She acted like she was surprised I answered every question right. Apparently, I do not seem too intelligent to some of them.

On a related note,  it was my turn to quiz the kids on their color knowledge. As I mentioned in the previous post, we put a drop of food coloring in the toilet before they pee because it making bathroom trips more fun. Let me also mention that we had a two week color unit where we wore a certain color on designated days. Example: Tuesday- blue, Wednesday- yellow...you get the idea. Since this unit ended, we've continued identifying colors in various lessons. I extend learning colors by asking them which color they want dropped in the toilet. If they point to the bottles of food coloring without saying anything, I make them identify which color by name. Just this week 2 of my kids have not been able to identify which colors they wanted in the toilet. My question is, where have you been for the last month?! Did you get amnesia? Were you asleep? We do this every day! In the words of Jerry Seinfield, "What's the deal?!" You could fail pre-school for this kind of rookie mistake. Maybe these girls choke under pressure...
