One of my favorite things to do at the elementary school is to walk around and look at the work that the kids have completed that is hanging on the wall outside each classroom. As I was making my way around the halls last week, I noticed that the first grade classes learned about the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday by writing their own “I have a dream” statements.
I could tell that the teachers must have prefaced this assignment by steering the kids towards writing about certain things because the majority of the responses had something to do with ending war, eliminating littering, and banishing smoking in America. But, it was the other few projects that caught my eye and actually made me laugh out loud while standing there by myself…
“I have a dream that everyone gets to choose their drink at lunch”
“I wish that everyone would have free yard sales”
HA!
Until next time,
