And like many preschoolers, when he finds a book he likes, he reads it over and over again. He started reading it a couple of weeks ago-with some help-and he really liked it. For Easter, I gave Walter a book for a present. Walter likes math-at his preschool, the other kids call him the math guy. When they got to Walter, we all expected firefighter. Instead, he paused a moment, then said “actuary.” The crowd literally gasped.īut there’s a twist here. When they asked that question at the ceremony, there were quite a few firefighters, the obligatory ballerina, a couple of doctors, etc. For Walter, they wrote down “firefighter.” One of the questions asked what you want to be when you grow up. They prepare for this by asking the children the questions a week or two ahead of time, and helping the child put the answers in writing. At the graduation, each child gets his/her moment in the sun to answer a few questions. My grandson, Walter, had his preschool graduation “ceremony” last week. Jim, an Academy member, shared this story about the impact of “The Magic School Bus Takes a Risk” for his grandson. Thanks for supporting the Academy’s efforts at promoting interest in being an actuary in school-age children.Īn Academy Member Shares His "Magic School Bus" Story Tag us when sharing your photos for a chance to have your image shared on the Academy social media accounts.
