The calculator
Tonight I picked up Gillian from Time Plus then we went to pick up John. Gillian immediately ran over to one of John's Time Plus teachers (she always gives Gillian coloring sheets or projects to do at home). While Gillian was distracted John ran past me to get his backpack. I noticed he was holding a calculator in his hand. Once John had his coat on we headed to the car. Gillian asked "Where did you get that phone, John? John, why do you have a phone?" John said "It's not a phone Gill. It's a calculator! I got it in class today." I said "John were you supposed to take it home?" He said "Yeah, we had a game and if we beat Mrs. Cuttler then we got to pick a prize. I picked a calculator. There were only three!" Gillian said "So the calculator was the best prize?!" John said "I think so!" Gillian wanted to see it in the car. But we talked about how it is John's and he would show her after dinner. He did show her how to use it. "Gill, this is how you turn it on. And then you push this button to clear it all. And Gill, do you know about dividing? Cause that's the button you use to divide." He was very sweet and showed Gillian how to use the calculator.
