Author's Tea

Robert had his 2nd Grade Author's Tea today at school.  He was so proud to have his writings on his desk for me to look at.  There were a lot.  He picked three that were his top favorite- Abraham Lincoln, the Digestive System, and a piece about his friends at school.  The Digestive system doesn't surprise me at all.  The day they learned that at school, he came home with a string telling me it was as long as his guts.  He was amazed by that.  Silly boy!  After reading his papers to me, we went and got a cookie and some punch.  We came back to the classroom and he showed me the rest of his writings.  Some were true- and some not so much.  He even wrote a paper about going to New York City.  I asked him one day if he had really gone there before.  He said yes and begin some elaborate story.  I asked him if he saw the Eiffel Tower there too.  I've heard that it was really neat in NYC.  He said Yes Mom and begin describing it.  Ahh, yeah not so much!  We laughed about that day today.  I ate lunch with both of the kids.  Hard to believe the school year is winding down!
