One of the things I always harp on in class in having a strong home to school connections. I want the kids to know that I value education, and so do their parents. I want their parents to know we are not just playing in kindergarten, we are learning and it's very valuable to their futures. In my weekly news each week I am careful to make sure that they parents know exactly what we are learning about, and before the kids go home I make sure they are prepared to answer the dreaded question, "What did you learn about in school today?" We joke and I harp on the fact that if they say "Nothing" or "I don't know" that I will scream. :)
So I got to school this morning and opened me email and read this from a parent:
"Dear Ms. Jen,
_____ told me you are learning about dinosaurs. He is very excited about them, so I decided we would watch Jurassic Park together. I'm sure he will tell you all about it."
What?! You showed your 4 year old a movie that I was terrified of until like, last year?! The dinosaurs eat a guy while he's on the toilet! I distinctly remember the people (and children) in the movie being trapped somewhere and the dinos trying to eat them! And the raptors still make me quiver!
Bless this sweet daddy's heart, he tried. :)

Oh wow! Yeah, I definitely get creaped out by those movies, and I think I was 15 when I saw it. My parents wisely waited to show it to us on the little screen in our comfortable living room. The raptors!
