First Grade Offices

R told me the cutest thing last week . She said they all have offices and I said to this :

"How can a first grader have an office?"

To which she said, "I'm telling you mom, we have offices! "

As I asked more questions I found out the office for a first grader is a partition with three panels- cardboard -that they take out and put around their papers to ensure privacy aka cheating prevention, I suppose.

I Hope She Always Feels This Passionate!

"Momma, I love you to the other worlds and back, to all the planets on the way to the Sun I will circle it, lay down and die!"

Jordan and Annie

Kudos and beyond for our neighbor and friend Jordan. She plays tirelessly with Annie even though she's in 4th grade. She teaches her to be silly and follow her heart. She's patient and kind and Annie always praises their time together.

It's All A Big Blank

"Mom: just so you know whenever I sing or dance, my mind is totally empty: it is blank."
