Today was observation day in Michael's classroom. Mrs. Davis read a story about animals and what makes them alike or different. The children took turns pointing out the similarities and differences.
Mrs Davis called on Michael and asked if he knew of similarities, but Michael was busy inspecting his finger, and announced that he had a bruise on it. Mrs. Davis pointed out how disappointing it was that he had such a bad bruise on his finger that he could not pay attention to the story, in fact, it must be so bad that Michael would have to miss out on the craft project. "Oh no Mrs. Davis, it is not THAT bad!" Michael assured her, and quickly changed his focus to his lesson. Afterwards, they made bird feeders before rushing off to gym and playing tag, and doing the chicken dance.
It was nice to be able to go to a school function for Michael, he was very pleased to see me there.
Highlands is such a wonderful school, and the view from the classroom is absolutely stunning. It is elevated and looks out onto Sandy Hook bay and the Atlantic. You can sit on the swings and look out across the ocean and it is so peaceful and beautiful. The bad part is that when winter comes the wind gusts endlessly for months, and it makes it feel like it is sub zero. There really is no describing the bitterness of winter on the Jersey shore, but trust me, it is not anything you should ever feel sorry missing.
