The other day the family loaded up in the minivan and headed to Pierce's Open House. His class has 16 students and two teachers. One of the teachers told me the cutest story that I had to share.
The assignment was to color pictures red if they were supposed to be red. And if they weren't supposed to be red, the teacher told them to "X it out".
So what did Pierce do? Well he colored the appropriate items red, of course.
But then, instead of "X it out" on the peas, which are supposed to be green, look what he did...
Yup, he wrote the word "Exit". Granted, the letters aren't in order, but cute, huh? And here I didn't even know he knew how to write Exit. I confess I like Pierce's take on "X it out". Now he just needs to work on his coloring in the lines technique....
So cute! It's so funny what you think is a clear direction can sound so different to a little one!
ReplyDeleteI love his take on the assignment. It would be too easy to just put an x. What great higher level thinking skills he was using!
ReplyDeleteGreat story and pretty smart! By coloring outside the lines maybe he's going to be able to 'think outside the box'!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like he's enjoying school!
How cute! Brings back so many memories of kids proudly bringing their drawings to be posted on the fridge. Next you'll be posting pics of your fridge. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha! Cute! I wouldn't have thought "exit" but it makes sense!
ReplyDeleteMakes perfect sense to me! Good for you Pierce! :)
ReplyDeleteHe's a creative guy..thinking outside the box!
ReplyDeleteThat is cute!
ReplyDeleteI love it! LOL being a person who tends to take things to literal, so I have been told. :O) I guess he took the teacher at her words didn't he! ROFL
ReplyDeleteLOL! brilliant!
ReplyDeleteGood job Pierce! That is so cute!
ReplyDeleteI love it! That is just awesome. Very literal!
ReplyDeleteI am constantly amazed at what my daughter knows that I didn't know she knows. (Tongue twister)
haha super cute!!

That is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI hope you keep that with the explanation for him for future years. What a sweet story. :)
ReplyDeleteHe's brilliant! I hope his teacher "gets" that!
ReplyDeleteThat is genius! He was doing exactly what the teacher told him :) Great story Lisa. Gloria
ReplyDeleteThat's just the cutest thing! Love this!
ReplyDeleteHe's a smart kid.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't spell my name until I was 32.
Cuteness.
ReplyDeleteOh my that is so cute...lol Thanks for stopping by we are settling in wonderfully :)
ReplyDeleteAww that's too cute! He's probably the only one who really followed the instructions, she said "Exit out", lol :)
ReplyDeleteThis is great, he went way beyond the call of duty! You need to save this paper! So cute!
ReplyDeleteNow THAT is one VERY smart kiddo...and thinking OUTSIDE of the box is the best way to be!!!
ReplyDeleteLove it:)
A+ for Pierce! sandie
ReplyDeletePierce is just too cute Lisa! Gotta love that!
ReplyDeleteMy son would get in trouble for not coloring the entire picture because he was afraid he would get in trouble for coloring outside the lines which they would yell at them for that too. He just couldn't win! I wish I didn't send him to that school.....
Too cute! When Amy was that age she surprised all of us by singing out one day-S-T-O-P stop! when we got to a stop sign. We didn't know she knew the letters and certainly not the word!
ReplyDeleteWhat an exciting time for Pierce:)
Smart little guy! I think that deserves extra credit!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had been that smart when I was his age....heck, come to think of it, I'm not that smart now.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! He follows directions perfectly.
ReplyDeleteSo cute...and smart! Coloring in the lines is so overrated. :)
ReplyDeleteCute is the word
ReplyDeletethis is the best!! made me smile as i'm trying to wake up :)
ReplyDeleteI love it! He is such an awesome little man!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh what a smart kiddo! I love this!!
