At such a young age we encourage students to "use their words" when trying to ask us to do something. A lot of this encouragement come during lunch time when students need things opened. One of our students struggles with this. At other times in the day, it is hard to get her to be quiet. She can ramble on and on about a story that most of the time you can't follow and it has nothing to do with what you were talking about in the first place. This student also changes the subject when you are trying to correct her on something. For example, you may be telling her that rough housing is not acceptable and she will reply with what her little brother's first word was.
At lunch time today, we were encouraging her to "use her words" to have us open her juice box. She sat there and stared at the teacher while she was explaining why she wanted her to do this. When the teacher finished, the student replied: "I was thinking about something bouncy."
Obviously something bouncy has something to do with using her words, right? I really think we are getting through to her!
