A Chat with Claire
Claire sat next to me on the airplane going from Nashville to San Diego. She was going to see her Mom. She was with her Dad and I got the seat next to them.
On the plane, Claire had Pringles and water. She played with her Little Kitties book. It had a special pen than when she used it, the pen turned blank pages and boxes into pictures of kitties, airplanes, numbers and letters. Claire showed me the numbers and the letters and the pictures then told me what they were.
She also told me she had just graduated from kindergarten and would be in first grade next year. She was certainly ready for first grade. She already knew her numbers and her letters. She is six years old.
It would be fun to be Claire’s teacher. Her Dad said her grandmother is a teacher and has been for many years. Right now she teaches sixth grade. She has mentioned that both eighth grade and first grade are real challenges. I agree. It’s not easy getting them started right, Getting them ready for high school is amazing.
I enjoyed Claire’s company. It was a long flight, but she kept herself occupied the whole time. I wish her the best in first grade. I know she’ll do well.
