It's the first day of second grade for Joe and for me. But my station is at the helm making everyone feel comfortable and ready to learn. Joe is done in a flash, it doesn't take long to arrange one pencil and your lunch inside the desk. He gets up to wander around the room. Second grade has begun.
Second graders are open, they love to share everything with the teacher.
They tell things that would curl their parent's toes. Joe is quiet. He needs to be encouraged to be a part of the discussion. Yeah, he has 2 brothers and a mom. He likes to watch TV and play outside.
