It may be that I’m just blocking an incident I don’t remember, but I think yesterday marks the first time I ever received a note from a teacher commenting on my child’s bad behavior.
Although, it wasn’t too bad since the note also said, “You have a very nice young daughter.”
Maxine, it seems, was writing and passing notes instead of listening to her teacher read to the class. She had started to tell her friend something when they were outside, but her friend didn’t understand what Maxine was trying to say. Back in the classroom, Maxine was intent on making her friend understand her point.
Basically, the note said we needed to discuss this behavior (note-writing) with Maxine and let her know this activity needs to stop right now. We did discuss it with her
Calvin and Hobbes
My son’s elementary school recently had a book fair, and Justin bought a copy of “Weirdos from another Planet!” It is a book of my absolutely favorite comic of all time — Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson. Justin bought it, in part, because he knew I really liked this comic.
I was perusing a few of the comics this morning. The copyright on this book is 1990, and the comics are still SO GOOD.
Do you remember writing notes in class? Did you ever get caught? And don’t you just love Calvin and Hobbes too?
