[quote=Anonymous]I stumbled upon this thread in my search for information about Key Elementary lottery.  I don't have a student at Appletree because my kids are too old, but I felt compelled to read this discussion after an experience I had recently.  I am a pediatrician and I had an appointment with a young patient recently.  I talked to the youngster about school and he told me he attended apple tree.  I asked him what he was learning about and he was very excited to tell me about dinosaurs.  But what really shocked me was the detail he went into.  He said he was learning about tyrannosaurus rex - the "king of the dinosaurs" - who had sharp teeth because they were carnivores which means they eat other animals.  I was absolutely blown away for a 4 year old to use such vocabulary.  I had to check my computer to make sure I had his age correct because of how atypical it was!  I mentioned it to his mother and she seemed totally unaffected because he speaks like this all the time.

Obviously something great is happening over there, and I thought I would share that.[/quote]
