What Barber means by that statement is that we visited Jeter's class yesterday afternoon.
His first grade has been studying a lot about pumpkins this season. This week they learned about the pumpkin life cycle (can I tell you again how much I love Jeter's teacher!). They also adopted "baby" pumpkins. Yesterday I brought in a snack (the pumpkin chocolate chip muffins) and Barber joined me. The class was quite busy with their stations - creating birth certificates for the baby pumpkins (including a print of its bottom) and artistically making the life cycles. With the teachers invitation, Barber joined Jeter in his activities (observing Jeter...not participating) and I helped at one of the stations.
After the stations were complete, Barber and I joined the class in the fire drill (so cute seeing a 3-1/2 year old walking in line with the other students holding his hand in the "fox ears" position), snack time, some time outside and then packing up to go home. It was so wonderful to see him handle himself so well in the classroom. I was so proud of him!
He has told me he is ready to going to school. I explained that next year he will go to pre-school; this year he is home with mommy. Of course he thinks that he is ready for first grade NOW because you know, in first grade there is a carpet with a "B" on it and that is for him since his name starts with that letter and that is where he sits. Completely logical you know. Meanwhile, I know that Kindergarten has the same carpet...maybe pre-school will too. Funny little man.

Sounds like Barber had a fun day.
My mom said I did similar things. I wanted to do everything my older sister did. I even read early since she was reading.
