oh.
that sounds great.
tell me a little bit about your teacher.
her name is Miss Teachersname and she's a girl.
[hums].
I wonder do you have some friends in school that you like to play with?
um there's somebody I know but I do not like what he does.
he's Childsname and one time on a day he got into the black card.
and that is not the goodest card to be on.
why?
because that's either a letter that tells his parents that he's been naughty or a call home.
oh what did he do?
um he hit somebody.
wow.
yup.
so tell me about the rules in your classroom.
do you want to hear the golden rule?
yeah.
treat others how you want to be treated.
|
oh so what does that mean?
that means if you want to be treated that way you do but if you don't want to be treated that way you don't do it.
oh that's a good rule.
that's great.
and the other one in the cafeteria is no littering.
that's a good rule.
what happens if you litter?
hm you get to go to the principal.
uhoh.
I wonder what they do at the principal's office.
well anyway let's see.
so anything else you wanna tell me about school?
hm we play lots of fun games in gym.
oh tell me about the games.
we played musical spots.
I don't know that one.
how do you play that?
you start out in the circle.
when the music stops you run crazy and try to find a spot.
oh.
and then you stand on it or you sit.
whatever Miss Teachersname says.
that's my gym teacher.
oh okay.
what happens if there's not enough spots?
there's enough spots for everybody.
oh okay.
they're laid around the whole gym.
so you run and you find a spot and then what?
then you stand on it or you sit on it.
|
I think we stand on the dot.
oh that sounds like fun.
and then when the music goes you go back to the circle and walk.
and then you go back to the circle a couple time.
and then when the music goes sometimes you don't hafta go back to the circle and just do whatever either Miss Teachersname or the other gym teacher is doing.
what kinds of things do they do?
um they were galloping.
and we had to frog leap.
and that really hurted me.
that sounds hard.
yeah I could hardly do it.
wow so you get to play um those kinds of games in gym.
yeah.
cool.
so do you have any pets?
yes.
what kind of pets?
kitties.
tell me about them.
I have two kitties.
one named Shermie and one names Butchie.
oh I have two kitties too.
one is black and white that would be Butchie.
and one is brown and that would be Shermie.
oh what do you do when you play with them?
um hm I mostly play in my room.
sometimes when I'm sleeping I forget sometimes my kitties are in there and I sleep.
and they're scratching on the carpeting and they make a big hole and like a small hole xxx fit through it.
wow.
so have you been anywhere fun with your family lately?
|
we went to the zoo.
oh tell me about that.
it was fun.
it had lots of animals.
I bet.
our zoo is getting smaller and smaller.
those animals are moving out from our zoo.
oh no.
to a different zoo.
the elephants are out.
they moved to a different zoo where they'll be healthier.
oh...
they were getting sick in our zoo.
oh well then it's probably good that they moved.
hm so you went to the zoo.
yeah.
have you gone on any trips?
we went to Eagle River in the summer.
hm.
for eight days.
fun what'd you do?
[sighs].
I went swimming.
playing on my playground with all my friends.
going into the gameroom.
wow that sounds like fun.
I like to swim and...
did you go fishing or did you do anything like that...
no.
building sandcastles.
|
swimming watching movies.
did you see any good movies?
yeah but we had to put it up where the swings were because we didn't have a tv in our cabin.
and did you know what?
the the summer before this um Childsname and Childsname's mom they kinda switched houses because they weren't living with each other anymore.
mhm.
so I really wanted Childsname and Childsname to go so my mom picked them up at their new house.
that was nice.
and then me Childsname and Childsname all went to Eagle River together.
cool.
that sounds like a fun time.
wow so then you went up there and then you came back to school.
do you have any brothers and sisters?
I have a sister and she's two years old.
oh tell me a little bit about her.
hm every time she does what I'm doing.
if I'm building a castle she tries to get to blocks.
but sometimes she knocks my towers down.
oh.
and I keep trying to work on them hard.
yeah I suppose she's little so she doesn't know.
and do you know what?
one time I built the greatest tower so I could put some guys in it.
so I can shoot it down with a rubber band gun.
and do you know what?
my whole body knocked that hard tall castle down.
oh.
and it was so hard.
oh because you had worked so hard on it?
yes and do you know what?
|
I also put a secret car in there and that fell because the whole top fell.
oh.
so did you make it up again?
I couldn't.
I couldn't remember how to make it.
hm.
wow it sounds like you make some really neat towers.
and my body or Childsname knocks them down.
but sometimes if my door's closed and I'm watching what I'm doing nothing can knock it down.
yeah.
but what if Shermie's in there.
he'll just think that that's me and rub on it and [makes falling noise] the castle falls.
oh.
but do you know what?
what?
one time I made a tower and do you know what?
I made it strong enough that it can hold up a box.
on my little straight pillars it could hold the box up.
good for you.
and do you know what?
it was even stronger.
do you know why?
why...
I was building inside of the box.
and it was still standing.
wow sounds like you make some great towers.
I try to balance a lot.
yeah.
but kitties Childsname my body [makes sound effect].
you need a special room just for your towers that no one else can come in.
|
hm I should have a secret hiding place in my room somewhere.
mhm.
I remember where I put it.
where?
under my bed.
oh.
you're going to go to my bed and build a tower.
laughs.
you'll hafta move all my stuff out of the way.

and then go inside and xxx my blocks xxx.
and I knock it down with my foot.
so that's why I don't have that secret hiding place anymore.
