After spending two weeks at home surrounded by teenagers and adults, it was refreshing to go back to being surrounded by 6 and 7 year old children. I gave my first grades classes the assignment of drawing a picture of their favorite memory from vacation, then let them wander the room with it, sharing and telling vacation stories to each other. One little girl came up to me with a sad look on her face saying that she couldn't find anyone to share with. I asked her to share her picture with me. She sighed and said, "It's just a picture of the beach."
I said, "Just the BEACH?! What did you do for vacation?"
"We went to Hawaii." was her reply!
Apparently, she was feeling down because everyone else was telling fun stories of sledding and snowball fights and she was feeling left out!
Little kids are so funny!
