What do you want to be when you grow up?

There is never a dull moment when teaching Kindergarten. We are currently finishing a unit on Community Helpers and I asked the children to draw a picture of what they might like to be when they grow up. Here are some responses:

"I want to be a pirate when I grow up." (Illegal, but doable)

"A princess." (Umm...how about an actress?)

"A King." (Of what?)

"A monkey." (What do you want to be WHEN YOU GROW UP. Not when it's Halloween.)

"A ghost." (When you grow up. Not when you're dead."

"A circle." (We're doomed.)
