The good and bad of summer...

I LOVE these kids at school! As we are winding down the year, I realize just how much I'm going to miss these little guys. (The "bad" of summer.) Robert (4 yrs. old) and Sophie (5 yrs. old) just came to the office to bring me "Robert's Map." He has punched out the continents (from construction paper) and glued them onto a flat globe. They brought it to me to laminate. I told Robert (who was VERY proud) that is would take awhile for the laminator to get hot enough. He looked me, very concerned, and said, "but then I will go home." I assured him it would only take about 20 minutes and I'd be sure to get it back to him before noon. He also told me that his name was upside down on the back. I jokingly flipped over the map and said, "but the world would be upside down!" He just grinned and had this devilish sparkle in his eye. I said, "how about we just let your name be upside down?" He thought that would be best. I absolutely love being part of their learning world and seeing their pride in accomplishing these amazing tasks!! Where's a B.A. degree when you need it???
