I happened to see Mrs. Nancy asking Dennis if he'd lost the dollar that was in his pocket--he said he had it, but reached in to check and said "oh--it's gone!". She handed him the dollar she'd found on the floor. This would be totally unremarkable if I hadn't known that Dennis wasn't in possession of a dollar this morning when he got to school. She told him to tell me how he'd gotten that dollar. It turns out that the dollar was a reward for correctly saying the entire Lord's Prayer in class, something she's been working on teaching them. I didn't tell her he's known it for a year. Her version is a tiny bit different than the one I taught him ("debts" rather than "trespasses", etc), so he has now learned to say it two ways. And earned a dollar for it.
I forgot to mention this little tidbit from a week ago. David brought birthday cookies to school for me at lunch, and I decided to share them with the afternoon care kids. I first asked them if they were allergic to anything. Dennis said "well, I'm allergic to monsters."
