As you know, we celebrated our 100th day of school this week. As students pretended to be 100 and shared about what they picture themselves doing at 100 years old, I was struck by a few things, the first being their sense of humor and love of fun. Students had us laughing all day as they pretended to be 100, calling each other "sonny boy," asking if I'd seen their teeth, pretending to walk on canes and have cricks in their backs, and informing me that they can wear what they want because they are old and retired. The second thing that stood out to me is how much vision and ambition our sweet little ones have. At 100, they plan to be building trains, surfing, traveling the world, playing whatever they want, and visiting family, among other things... like eating all the bacon and ice cream they want. On that same note, I loved seeing their outside interests and passion projects this week. I have no doubt that they will all accomplish great things in their lives. I love that I get to be part of helping them figure out who they are, their place in this world, and how they can contribute to it. Thank you for sharing that great privilege with me.
