Mammals are like mama

Mar 16, 2010 9:21 PM

Asked my little 1st grader about mammals for his EVS, he said mammals are like mama. I was irritated and asked him to take it seriously. He said something like: they give birth to babies, give milk to babies, have hair on their bodies and are warm (warm blooded). Was excited and said yessss, you got it my dear. Now never forget this mammals and mama -- even though he said mama's are hairy. ;-)

Gosh! Am learning sooooo much from these 1st graders and 3rd graders -- thanks to their exam prep.

I guess I'll be getting that soon too. My 18 month old gets confused between a cow and a sheep often (the cows here are white and some are black too and with long hair). Just to help I explained cows give us milk and pointing to the udders of one dummy said "that is where you get 'du du'". He had such a confused look...and his glance almost drifted over my top half. For you never know he may even have been supressing a smile and a rejoinder!
