Friday is show-and-tell day at Carter's school. Each week they are supposed to bring in something starting with a different letter. This week is the letter g. We just received an email with some suggestions for what the kids could bring this week. Here's the list
Gel
Gloss (as in lip gloss)
Grape lip balm
Gillette razor
Grout
Green
Garbage Man (Oscar)
Seriously?!

Of course...you know 2 - 3 year-olds really should be handling razors, grout, and what not.
Absurd!
I think we're going ask our Garbage Man (who's name is not Oscar) to stop by. I'd rather send the Recycling Man, but his name is Chuck. Oh well. And a glossy green razor covered in grout. It'll be Great!
what a challenge to bring in "green"! do you have a pound of green lying around?
Does make you wonder about the level of creative thinking on the staff. . .
We're down to just under half a pound of green after last night (I mean Eli WAS in NYC). I think it still may be good if I clean it up a bit...
This is...stunning. And not in a good way...
I do find it interesting that they are allowing both the hard and soft G sound as options. At Jasper's Montessori school, they were given specific sounds on multi-sound words. G had to be the soft sound.
Now about the list... HUH?! The ONE thing that is remotely appropriate is listed twice (sorry... gloss and grape lip balm are darn near the same thing) and the rest are just weird or WRONG. What sort of GEL are you going to send your preschooler with?
weird - when I was a mom or a kid the only thing I recognize from that list is green....Yuk-Grannyb
I ended up giving him a choice between a guitar and a game. He took the guitar.
Also, we did get another email explaining that they didn't mean the RAZOR part. Because it isn't the week for "r".
Hmm...I'm a little concerned that they couldn't come up with more nouns. Green something or Garbage Man and Gilette razor are not G nouns. I know that the kids themsleves don't grasp that but come on, right? Guitar, Grapes (not grape flavored something?), grass, gauge, GNOME! That last one would have thrown the kiddies for a loop!
Or maybe you need a new pet Gecko? Or a receipt for car insurance?
