Day #4721 (Fri., Dec. 9, 2022) – Miss Washington Leaving?
I drove Bobby to school this morning and picked him up at 2:40 pm as well. He was fine today. No sickness or anything.
On the way home he told me that he had chicken nuggets for lunch. Apparently their recess was cut short at the teacher who takes them out for recess was late. A big problem in the eyes of a 2nd grader! In his math class today the teacher let them watch “Lion King” as a bit of a reward for being so good. He also told me that Jimmy is the “Class Clown” in his class.
It’s strange what you learn about from kids. His classmate, Lucia, was a twin, but her twin sister died while she was being delivered. Bobby told me that she ate her sister while in the womb!!!! Not sure where he heard this, or if it is true in fact, but this is the sort of graphic description that 7 year old boys just love… 🙂
Just as we were getting out of the car Bobby told me that Miss Washington is leaving for good on Tuesday. I talked to my wife about it and we are guessing that they finally hired a permanent teacher, as Miss Washington was only a substitute.
This evening Bobby and I played the Dollar Tree Monopoly Game that Katie got in her Advent Calendar the other day (see photo to the left). The writing was so small that I needed my glasses, and even then, Bobby had to read most of the writing. If the kids like it enough we will have to give a bigger version. I would rather they play “Rat Race” as this will help them learn how to build a passive income to retire on.
Katie had another drawing class this evening. My wife showed me the drawing book & kit that we got for her for under the Christmas tree.
