A bit about Abe
Abe came home from school the first day with bright eyes and excitement in his voice, “My teacher said that she only has smart and good kids in her class.” You can tell he’s so proud of himself for making it into her class. I love her attitude to believe in her students, to communicate that confidence to them, and then they believe themselves to be good kids. She knows they have it in them … and hopefully they’ll let that part shine.
Abe loves his teacher, Mrs. Morse, this year. He thinks she is so funny. She tells jokes and sings silly songs. And I’ll tell you – I think she’s a smart one. She has those kids do exercises every day (What’s up with organized school P.E. being only twice a month?!). This is his explanation of wacky-jacks.

Yesterday he came home from school and wanted to sing a song to me… ‘Stop in the name of Love’. I love that he forgot the real tune and knows nothing about this popular song from long ago… but now he will never forget how to spell S.T.O.P. and he’ll think spelling is fun. This is his explanation about the song.

Abe is a big time snacker. This kid could eat all day long if I let him. At 4 p.m. he asked for a snack. My reply, “No. It’s almost dinnertime. And didn’t you just have a snack? You can’t eat all day long!” Abe said, “But mom. Eating is one of my talents.”
We do love Abe!
We just adore your sweet and talented Abe. He is just awesome!
I love this. And I love hearing about the great teachers out there. I can’t believe that PE is only twice a month now though!! When I was in school it was twice a week and that wasn’t even enough!
oh my goodness, he is so adorable!!!!
