I work with some VERY smart 4-year-olds.
We sat in a circle this morning (the 4-year-olds, Ezra, and I) and I asked individual students to name 3 things - like 3 colors or superheroes or books. I asked one girl to name three foods.
She spelled it out: "G-R-A-P-E."
Impressed, I said, "Okay! Grape..."
"G-R-E-E-N-A-P-P-L-E."
"Green apple! Awesome! One more...."
"B-A-N-N-A."
...brief pause... And then I said, "Oh! Yes. Banana. B-a-n-A-n-a." She smiled and nodded.
Also, another little girl told me on the way to the bathroom, "When I grew up - when I turned 4 - I stopped napping." Smart and mature, too. :)
