The Polar Express

(Mrs Milton read the book, and Caroline re-wrote it in her own words.)

The boy was lying in his bed, looking out of his window.

They went to the north pole, then they see Santa. Santa pat him, then give him a bell. But he lost it.

His sister Sarah sees a little sign on one of the presents and it was his name. Then he opened it, it was his bell.

Caroline Writing Workshp - Dec 7

Numbers

One, one is the Sun.
Two, two are the schools.
Three, three are the trees.
Six, six are the chicks.

I love numbers!
(This is what she did at school)

一个communication造成的问题

话说兰兰有个恶习,就是她要是有什么事情不爽了通常不容易表达出来,而且白天她是
绝对不会说的,非得到晚上关了大灯要睡觉的时候,她想起来了。而且一般不是直说什
么问题,非要曲折到别的话题上。于是前几天晚上就有这样的对话.
关了灯,兰兰开始吭几吭几,我问她,怎么了?
继续吭几,说我的学校不睡觉。
我:嗯?你说学校不睡午觉?你们都是大孩子啦,所以就不睡觉啦。
兰兰:可是我好tired.
我心里想,你上学都几个月了,现在说tired,还只能安慰:那咱们晚上早点睡行不?
兰兰:好。
可是还是继续吭几。
于是我知道肯定还有别的事,得继续问。
我:在学校怎么了?被老师批评啦?
兰兰:没有
我:小朋友不好?对你mean啦?
兰兰:没有。
继续吭几,然后说,有个小朋友不好。

于是我赶紧问,是你们班同学,她又说不是,是一个2nd grader,跟她一起坐bus的.
我问:那他怎么不好了?怎么欺负你了?对你说什么了?
兰兰又吭几,我不知道。
我:那他叫什么名字。
兰兰:不知道。
(我当时真想昏倒啊)
我就跟她说,那你跟Snaha坐一起好不好?
兰兰:but we can't sit together.
我愤怒:谁说的?
兰兰又不知道了。
于是反复交替N轮之后,好歹知道了这个孩子好像叫Ravi.
偶就想人家一个二年级男生,好像不应该没事欺负小孩么,兰兰也没有惹别人的胆子。
比较可能的原因没准是人家小男生喜欢兰兰,所以故意惹她?
我就跟兰兰讲,我说你现在什么都说不出来妈妈没法帮你。
明天呢,他要是再做什么你不喜欢的事情,你就告诉他,i don't like it.
然后你得告诉妈妈他做了什么,然后妈妈才好告诉你们老师或者学校。
兰兰同意了,还跟我练习了好几遍,怎么说 I don't like it

第二天晚上,我就问她坐bus怎么样了。
她马上说,妈妈,我今天说i don't like that了。
我说,那个小男生说什么啦?怎么对你啦?
兰兰说,他说,can you be my friend? 我们现在是friend了。

果然是一个communication引发的惨案啊。

======================================================================
偶经常谴责兰兰不会表达的基因是ld那里来的,咱们二宝能说会道的基因当然就是我这里来的。
比如今天,二宝从学校拿回来感恩节自己做的纸帽子一顶,很高兴地一直带自己头上。
后来ld拿过戴上,二宝就不太高兴,指着ld说,爸爸,你的脑袋太大了。
时年二宝两岁9个月,说话基本都是这种很有条理的样子了。
