report cards from the past
My mom got her "important box" out and gave me several things she had saved for me as I was growing up: report cards, my baby footprints, and a copy of my fingerprints. I found it fascinating what some of my past teachers had written about me. Here are a few of the comments.
Kindergarten, 1st quarter: "Tina is a good student. She works well independently but needs occasional reminders about talking out of turn" I guess some things never change...I'm still a blabber mouth
Kindergarten, 2nd quarter: "Tina's work is progressing very nicely this marking period. The talking problem has improved but since her friend Danielle has left, she had some difficulty making new friends." I had forgotten all about Danielle. She lived on my street and we played together all day, every day. I've always only had one or two close friends. I was never the type to have a big group of friends. I wonder where Danielle is now.
Fourth grade, 3rd quarter: "Tina is so creative in her work. She also is so kind and sharing with all of the students. If I had a child, I would hope to have her have the qualities Tina has." Wow! I was so surprised when I read this comment. Had no idea she felt that way about me. Honestly, this teacher is not one that stands out as one of my most memorable. I do remember her, but I can't remember anything extra special. Isn't that sad? Such is the way of memories.
Fourth grade, 4th quarter: "Tina, always continue your love of books and continue to share your knowledge with others. You have been a delight to have in my class" This was the year I discovered the joy of reading. "Ramona the Pest" was the first chapter book I ever read on my own. Oh, how I loved it.

They might be giants bwoah they might be giants! (Oh that bwoah part is some instrument sound they made in between each of the chorus lines when they sing that song)
Particle man, particle man, doing the things a particle can. What's he like? it's not important particle man...
I've got to bust out those tapes this weekend and listen to them. I loved TMBG.
