The first graders are invited...

My first graders are REALLY into my life right now. I told them that I would mail all of them an invitation to our open house this summer. Here is what one of my first graders wrote today during Writer's Workshop time. I took it out of her desk at recess to take a quick picture.

"Mrs. Chidester is getting married and she is letting us go to her wedding."

A few things that are too cute...

I like how she calls me "Mrs. Chidester" instead of Miss. Looks like I'm already committed!

I love how muscular (or fat... not sure which) my arms look and that my dress is multi-colored and see through.

That's fun.

I also like how my hair is down for a change.

Fancy.

 I'm glad that Ken is wearing a tie, although he clearly has some rare deformity in his feet. Is it genetic? Let's hope not. Hopefully my insurance will not consider that a "preexisting condition".
