Every year, Mrs. Sauter teaches her Kindergarten class some “old time rock and roll” with actions. The parents come in to see them perform. Gage loved Mrs. Sauter. She was very patient with him. He really enjoyed school. I am grateful all my kids had such good teachers this year in school. At the beginning of the program, Mrs. Sauter told a little about the year and she mentions that they learned not to put worms in pockets…. That would be Gage…. One day he came home with a cup of worms put in a plastic bag. I asked where he got them and he said he collected them at school. He wanted to keep them and we compromised, he wanted to put them in his room, I said throw them out…he got to keep them in the garage… The next day I was at the school and talking with some of the teachers when Mrs. Sauter come up and told me the rest of the worm story….. It had been raining for two days and everything was soaked. There were worms everywhere. Gage had come back in from recess and been a little weird about his coat so Mrs. Sauter asked him what was going on. He showed her is coat pocket and there were about 30 worms crawling around in it….eeeeeewwwwww!!! She suggested that they might get washed if he left them in his coat so she was able to convince him to put them in a cup. There they sat on his desk for the rest of the day. The little girl that sat next to him told Mrs. Sauter that she couldn’t look at Gage anymore because the worms were so gross. :-) When he went to walk home, she suggested a sandwich bag to put them in so they didn’t spill on the walk home. That is how they got to me… Now Gage kept them for a day in the garage and then he “gave them a drink” and they all died… He has learned that worms don’t really like water ;-) These videos and pictures are from his Spring program. He was the only one in the class that could use a hola-hoop and he is really good at it. The little blond girl in front of him is Emma, she is the bishops daughter and she and Gage are great friends. When I eat lunch with the kids at school, Gage always asks Emma to sit by him.
