Letter from Aunt Lin

I received this letter from my Aunt Lin, who is an elementary school teacher and occasionally updates the family on the more entertaining school happenings.

Here is some first week kid stuff from school.

A teacher has two boys named Jack in her class so typically a teacher adds the initial of the last name to the first. One is an S and one is a P. Jack S. is very active and needs lots of guidance. Another child noticed that if the name Jack S. is said quickly, it is a bad word......

Hailey's Mom is having a baby, which they just found out is a boy. She excited told my whole class about her upcoming baby brother and then told us not to tell her Mom as it is a surprise.

A kindergarten teacher told us at lunch about how a kindergarten child excitedly told the whole class after looking at Officer Dan in complete uniform that his Mom has handcuffs just like that on the bedstand.

After reading a story about a boy who was nervous and worried, the children were asked to write about a time when they were nervous or worried. To get them started, a few children were asked to share what they would write about. One 7 year old boy told about the time he went into his parents' bedroom and saw an adult video on his Dad's bed. Should be an interesting piece of writing to share at conference time. :-)

Two days down into the school year.
Love,
Lin

I do love getting e-mails from the family.
