Today, while reviewing pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters in class, I asked the kindergarteners if they knew whose head was on the quarter. They all stared blankly, so I gave them a hint.
"He was the very first president of the United States," I said.
Kevin shot his hand up. "Obama!" He shouted, without even waiting to be called on.
Lauren shook her head. "That can't be Obama," she said importantly. I sighed with relief that she could tell the difference between a very anglican-looking old man and the current president of the US. All my hopes were dashed, however, when the reason she knew it wasn't Obama was because, "Obama's bald!"
It must be so much fun to have a class of kindergarteners! They are the cutest things ever :)
