Colors are fascinating. For young children, coloring is a super fun activity.

However, there can NEVER be one color for some of the things that we say they are. Leaves are not only green and apples are not just red.

If there is a blue sky, there is a purple sky as well.

And there are red trees. Fire tree. Flame Tree. Caballero. Arbol De Fuego. Whatever is this specie called, it is still the Red Tree for us and these trees are seen everywhere bursting with red and orange hues from April till July.

I used to have a student who, young as he was, has a creative mind. During the first few days of school, they were asked to draw their homes. He drew a tree planted near their home but instead of coloring the tree as having green leaves, he colored the tree RED. He said the tree in front of their house is red.

The teacher can not accept his answer it seems. This teacher, perhaps she hasn’t seen a red tree or is not as observant as her young student. Errr… teacher? Are you ok?
