First day of school
Dear Grace,
Grammy and I enjoyed talking to you on the phone last night about your first day in pre-kindergarten. We are glad you made a new friend and drew a picture for us.
You’re going to be a terrific student. We saw that again last weekend when you wouldn’t let us stop reading books to you. Your daddy called me a sucker because we read so many, but don’t listen to him. How many did we read? Ten? Twelve? More, I think. (I don’t know about you, but my favorite book was about the little rabbit who thought he didn’t like carrots. I hope you eat your carrots.)
After we read all those books, I told Grammy your mind was like a Xerox machine. You listen and look so carefully, you take everything in, and you can spin it right back out. Sometimes when it’s a book we’ve read before and I’m not sure you’re paying attention, I stop in the middle of a sentence, and you quickly fill in the next words.
You have too much on your mind to think beyond the excitement of starting school – finally – but our talk last night left Grammy and me thinking about your future. You will be going to school for the next 16 years, maybe longer. Wow! In that time, the world will change so much!
You’ve got great parents, and this has given you a big head start. You’ll keep learning from them all your life.
Your teachers have a big job, too. I admire good teachers more than any other people (and I’m not saying that just because Grammy is a teacher). Teachers do the most important work. They offer children like you what they need to become successful and fulfilled adults. It is so amazing that year after year, at schools all around the country, teachers give so many children, small and big, the chance to grow.
You’re going to have a great time in your pre-K class. You’re going to learn new things every day. It won’t even seem like work. And before you know it, you’ll be reading to Grammy and me.
Be nice to your brother. We know you will.
Love, Grampa
