School

Last night was curriculum night at school. I got to go into Odin's classroom and learn how and what Odin will be learning this year. I thought it was fascinating. One of the points that his teacher brought up was the importance of writing. She told of the importance of the kids seeing family members write, reading what others have written and especially writing themselves. His teacher said a great way to encourage this is to have people write letters to the students, and then the parents encourage the students to write back. It starts small a sentence or two maybe, but over the course of the year usually grows into four or five sentences. Odin already has one pen-pal, his friend Laura in Minnesota. Lets see how many more he can have!
