After the first day at school, Tanner met Aaron in his classroom. Aaron had Tanner read a book about tadpoles turning into frogs. When Aaron came home he asked me to ask Tanner about the book so we can check comprehension. I later asked Tanner about the book. He didn't have much to say so I started asking questions. I hadn't read the book so I wasn't sure what to ask. I asked Tanner, "How long does it take for a tadpole to turn into a frog?" I watched Tanner think for a minute, go get the book, and then turn through the book. He then looked up at me and said, "32 pages." Of course that is how many pages are in the book. What a cute boy.
About 2 weeks ago Tanner was learning geography in school. He brought home a map of the USA. Of course the map had Hawaii and Alaska in the wrong place. He pointed out to me that Hawaii isn't that far away. I then explained to him that both Hawaii and Alaska aren't in the right place and explained where they really are. He then asked where California is. I showed him and where we went to the beach. He asked, "Why didn't we take the shortcut?" What a cute boy.
