as my time in the classroom continues to increase with each day that passes, i see so many specific things that separate boys from girls, and vice versa. it's amazing how this distinction starts from such an early age, without them(the kids) even noticing how different they are from the opposite gender, through their everyday actions. of course, it's not to say that ALL boys are like this and that ALL girls are like this. generally, girls pay so much closer to details than boys do. when i give them a coloring assignment, girls will always take more time to color neatly and inside the lines. they also make sure to color the buttons a different shade than the jacket, and that the rims of the glasses are not the same as the color of the pictures skin. but boys, will take literally 5 seconds to color the whole thing blue? girls are also definitely more organized with their pencil cases, backpacks and belongings. boys are usually the ones that come back to get something that they forgot in my classroom. it's these little differences that make boys, boys and girls, girls. i LOVE it. i love noticing such tiny aspects of each gender at such a YOUNG age. obviously, these details escalade into different, bigger things as girls and boys get older. some things will never change, no matter how old you get.
16 weeks ya'll.
