FOR MOM'S PROTECTION

Per my assistant principal, a parent was required to spend the day in my clasroom to observe her childs behavior. On this particular day, one of the activities offered was the opportunity to refine a building skill. The activity consisted of a board drilled with holes, different types of screws, and several screwdrivers from which to select. My kindergartners know that goggles are required to protect their eyes in all science center activities using tools. This child picked this activity and begged his mom to join him. After watching him for a few minutes, she reluctantly picked up a screwdriver. Stopping her, he picked up a pair of goggles, handed them to her and said, "Mom, always use protection when you screw!"
