First Week of School

Dear Zayde,

This week I learned about school! It's fantastic! School is a whole building full of kids and teachers and toys and books, and everyone plays all day. Sometimes we sit in a circle on the carpet and talk about what day it is, the weather, colors, numbers...you know, just the usual small talk. Sometimes we sing. Sometimes we use scissors and glue, which are pretty much the greatest tools ever. School has a shaded playground where all the equipment is just my size, and when I sit in the chairs in my classroom, my feet touch the floor. It's almost as though the school has been designed for kids.

On Monday, I learned that Mommy and Daddy aren't allowed to go to school all day, which is a major bummer for them because school is, as previously stated, totally awesome.

I learned that teachers are kind and smart women who live in the school and show you how to play with all the activities in the classroom. Teachers open tricky lunch boxes, hold hands while walking down the hall, and read stories with enthusiasm. Mommy says she used to be a teacher, but I know she's kidding because she is, has been, and will be always my Mommy, starting at the beginning of time and never ending.

Teachers are also helpful when you miss your Mommy.

On Wednesday, I learned that we aren't allowed to climb the school playground's fence, even though I'm a big girl and can climb high and want to be at the top. 

On Friday, I learned that a rabbi is a happy person who really loves Shabbat, just like me!

I think you would like school. Maybe one day Bubbie can drop you off with your backpack, and we can play and learn together.

In the running for teacher's pet,
Zelda
