the pink chair

in ben's classroom you can find this lovely pink chair ...



it is known as 'the pink chair'.

every few days his teacher uses his 'magic tongue depressors' to choose a name -
this classmate then gets to sit in 'the pink chair' and get interviewed by the class.
- questions the kids come up with -
once the interview is done,
the kids take a piece of paper and write a card/story about what they heard.

ben was SO excited because he was 'the chosen one' a few weeks ago!
he has LOVED the 'letters' that he got from his friends
he keeps them in a pile in his room
and i find that he sits and looks through them quite a bit



even the one that he wrote about himself ;)



once again -
it's the simple things ...
the little things that teachers think of ...
and make time for ...
that mean the most.

although the smart boards rock ...
and the daily podcasts are pretty sweet too ...
today ...
all it took was a pack of construction paper,
a few markers,
and a little pink chair

THAT is what ben will remember from first grade.
and i LOVE that.
thank you, mr.g
