Just an Ini Bit Off

An elementary music teacher in Cheyenne, Wyoming, reports that on a cold and windy day, one of her three-year-old students declared that she wished they were all on a sandy beach where they could change into their zucchinis. It was clearly a teachable moment where she could explain that such a swimsuit is actually called a bikini. This is part of a complete episode.

We heard from Paula Egan Wright in Cheyenne, Wyoming. She’s a teacher and she says,

I always start my elementary music classes with a sharing circle. Last week, I asked three-year-olds what they would do differently if they were the school principal. One little girl wishing it were warmer, were on the high prairie at 6,000 feet where it snows a lot, said she’d put in a sandy beach on the playground and the girls could all wear zucchinis. I’m imagining wearing them on your fingertips like you would put little holes in there. Kind of like the hot dog fingers in that everything, everywhere, all at once.

You can take your zucchini fingers and dial us, 877-929-9673.
