Science saves the day

As you know, we've been having issues with Grayson not listening to his teachers at school. Each day has been getting better, and this morning we had a redeeming moment.

Gray's class is studying the earth this week and yesterday the teacher asked each child what you find on earth. She drew a picture of earth and wrote each of their names inside, along with their individual responses. Most kids said things like, "trees" or "green."

Next to Grayson's name it says, "hot magma." That's right, magma. After her initial surprise, Ms. Joan asked him a little more about where you find magma on earth. He told her all about volcanoes and lava and hot magma.

When Michael dropped off Gray this morning, Ms. Joan told him about the conversation and said, "Someone has been working at home. That makes me happy." If only she could see the stack of science books this kid insists we read at bedtime.
