son 2 started kindergarten in august. son 2 is very shy. a week ago we received a report from the teacher, she was concerned that he was not verbally participating in class exercises. i talked with son 2 and encouraged him to be more involved and raise his hand more often.
today, the teacher was discussing shapes and what you might do with shapes. one student suggested "put a triangle on your head like a hat". another announced "put a square in your hand". son 2 recognized this as his opportunity to raise his hand for the first time. eager to get him involved, she called on him.
"put a circle in your butt!" he said excitedly.
all the students laughed. son 2 laughed the hardest. the teacher tried not to laugh.
overjoyed he actually said something, she decided not to scold him.
i now fear the positive reinforcement of laughter will result in similar answers being used for future questions, "class, what is 2 plus 2?"
hey lady, put a rhombus in your rear.
