JUST have to share that a letter came in the mail today for Grace from her new elementary school with a wonderful old-world "seal" in the top left corner - a picture of a tent in the jungle with the words "First Grade Society of Explorers... Go Boldly" in a circle around the picture.
Inside was a personalized letter from her new teacher describing their daring adventure in the upcoming year (only for courageous boys and girls) to explore... perhaps encountering unknown creatures, discovering new lands, climbing tall mountains and sailing across endless seas... She explained how excited she is, how she can't wait, and at the end added a personal note to Grace saying she's already heard about what a great kid she is...
Can I go to first grade?
I've met her teacher; she's my age and has taught for many years. She LOVES what she does; this is not an overly enthusiastic first year teacher (nothing wrong with that, just sayin). She included a card for Grace to bring in a burning question she has - something SHE wants to learn about...
Anyway, I got all teary.
