One more entry for today - e-mailed to me by Aunt Shannon about my cousin Jonathan's pre-school class.
Everyday in jonathan's preschool class, the kids have a group discussion with one teacher. The other teacher dictates the discussion and emails it to all the parents so we have an idea of what went on in school that day. it's called a reflection. I thought of becca when i read today's reflection. i think she will find this cute. thanks
Miguel: When I was going to school I saw the sun looking like it was following our car. How did that happen? I think friends may have questions about that. My mom says it is staying where it is suppose to be but it looked to me like it was following my car
Martha: Sometimes I think it is following my car
Joey: When I was driving on the road one time the sun was following my car. I thought it was gravity was pushing it.
T: What is gravity?
Joey: Gravity is something that looks like a rock but it is muddier
T: Anyone else have any knowledge about gravity they would like to share.
David: Probably when you went on the jeep I saw gravity that lives on the sun
Carrie: I am not really sure what that is
Martha: It might be blue
Carrie: Today the sun was following my car too.
Joey: Gravity sticks to the sky somehow. Gravity holds us when our planet goes upside down.
Jack: Gravity can be made of rock and sometime you see them at the beach and they are like docks so you can get off your boat.
Justin: Clouds may be pushing the sun that maybe that’s how it follows the car
Miguel: How does the clouds push the sun.
Justin: Maybe they just like push the sun carefully.
Hannah: Well when I was at home today and I had to get out of bed that is all.
Jonathan: I had a dream about a storm and you are not allowed to have baths on days it is storming because you could get shocked. Well today the sun didn’t follow me but one day it did it keeps moving.
T: Anyone else have other experiences with that.
Martha: Sometimes it follows me in the summer and I see it from the car and maybe God just pushes it.
Joey: Can I call on friends for questions?
David: Can gravity stick on windows.
Joey: It can stick on everything
Joey: It sticks to the sky. After the blue is the black and the gravity is with the black.
David: Does gravity stick on the back or front.
Joey: It sticks all over.
Trent: Gravity is something that is just yours and it sticks to just you. It is like a toy and it stays with you.
T: Where would we find out about gravity?
Joey: Astronauts know about gravity
Jack: Maybe the internet. It has a lot of things. My dad looked at four wheelers on the internet. They are dangerous cause if they tip over on you. You could get hurt.
Joe: I have something else about gravity. People can’t breathe by gravity. Astronauts can’t breathe by gravity.
Miguel: What are astronauts?
Yassir: Well, they have helmets and they are not really alive. I saw one for really one time it came into my door.
Jack: Astronauts wear tubes for their hats and they have tubes so they can breathe. It’s hooked onto the hat that they wear and they breathe oxygen.
Joey: Astronauts got to put helmets on because there is not air in outer space. That’s only where the aliens live. It’s just black there
Miguel: How come there is no air in outer scpce.
Jack: But astronauts jump out of a rocket. Because there is no gravity they float.
Ricky: It’s because they hold on to the rocket ship.
T: Oh, so what does gravity do?
Jack: If there was no gravity in this school then we would be floating.
T: Oh my wow
Miguel: What did he say?
T: He is right next to you. Jack could you say that again?
Jack: If there was no gravity in this school then we would be floating.
Miguel: Gravity so when you’re on the ground and you’re going to school and in get sky something looks like its following you but it really isn’t.
Joey: Gravity might not be real. People just talk about it.
Jacob: If there is nothing like gravity in the pool you float when you turn on your back.
Carrie: We are spinning. The world is spinning.
Ricky: But very slowly.
Miguel: The earth is going like this slow. (he shows us)
Jonathan: If there was gravity in this class right now then we would be swimming.
T: Jack seems to think that there is gravity in this class right now.
Jack: Yeah…Angie she sometimes babysits me. She told me that there is no gravity in space.
