We have a new alligator in the class who will help every morning with circle time. He needed a name. I let each child come up with a name they liked. I had everything from Mr. Alligator to George, to Lisa to Princess. I told them that there was no wrong names and that Ms Stephanie and I would narrow their choices to two and then they would cast their vote on secret ballot.
The top two contenders were Noodles and Pepper. Each child voted by either writing 1 or 2 on the ballot. After the votes were counted, the elected name for our alligator is Noodles. Won the vote 10 to 4.
On the way out, each child got a "button" to wear home. It was a good day in America.

VERY cute... I'd like my son Jack to attend your preschool class. Can you set up a webcast of it? :)
You are the most brilliant person I know. I love you.
that is amazing. great story.
You're brilliant - and beautiful. Which makes both Colin and me very lucky!
You've created a little politician in Lizzie because she told me that his first name is Noodles and his second name is Pepper. :-)
