Circulatory Lesson

So Erika (one of my students) plops down on the bench next to me at Recess.

I ask, "Did you need a break?"

"Yeah, my heart is beeping too fast."

"Really? How do you know your heart is beeping?"

"I touched it and it feels like a baby is under there trying to get out."

Apparently, our unit on body systems will be particularly informative, perhaps a bit disappointing, to this blooming cardiologist.

I want to be a teacher. What a great story. You should publish a book with all of these great kids comments.
I love you buddy!

I love the sense of wonder you share with your children and how you enjoy exploring their thought processes and delighting in them. :) This particular segment reminded me of part of a movie (The Alien) that I saw where the "baby" really does erupt from the man's chest. UGH! Needless to say, that was the end of that movie for me. :}

I think it's fun how she associates "beeping" with her heart. ER shows or a truck backing up -- I wonder which one? :)
