The first time The Pumpkin busted out with the Pledge of Allegiance, we were totally surprised.  Apparently, a different kid in her class is chosen every day to be “the leader,” and one of the duties of the leader is to lead the class in the pledge.  When she first role-played this for us, she even included her teacher (she played her teacher) correcting a whole bunch of kids individually on which hand to use [her teacher got a kick out of this when we told her].  This week, The Pumpkin is Student of the Week—every student gets to be Student of the Week once during the school year, with photos from home and things about them [we had to edit “My favorite thing about school is: playing with Priscilla” to “...playing with my friends” so as to not exclude anyone!] on the bulletin board.  And one thing kids get to do as Student of the Week is be the leader.  So this video is la dra. helping her practice.  Heh.
