Hail to the Chief

Outside of Ben's classroom, there is a dry-erase board on which Ms. Cathy and Ms. Monique post things that parents need to know. There's a schedule for when they have P.E., what day show-and-tell will be and then there's usually a paragraph letting parents know what the kids did that day.

In their studies about the continents and their respective countries, they have moved on from Asia and are now discussing Africa and its 54 countries. (I think that's right--I'm even learning stuff from the board.) I wish I had been there to witness this firsthand...

Today, we learned more about Africa. When asking the children if they knew where Morocco was, one student said, "In the White House!" Apparently, our President's name is Morocco Bama.
