Today we went to a primary school (R-7th) with 1980 students. I’m often thinking of my mom and her first graders when we go into these primary schools. I wish she could come visit a first grade classroom here with me. So today I found out some 1st grade stats for you, Mom, and wrote them on my hand. There are 480 first graders, 8 first grade teachers, and 7 first grade classrooms at this school. Isn’t that crazy?!

Well, I have to comment on this message! Just about the day I was realizing it might be next weekend before I hear from you, you were deep in thought into my world of first graders! The numbers are difficult to imagine as a teacher. How are you able to make an impact in such a large classroom? With budget cuts in our district, we'll keep this as our little secret:) Love, Mom
