Ian, Nina and I jaunted up to see Erin and her 5th grade classroom today. It is a bit of a drive, which is my rather sorry excuse for not visiting sooner! Although we didn’t stay even an hour, it was a wonderful event. Ian was thoroughly entertained by the concept of “school,” which he is only recently beginning to understand. Erin’s students were polite and full of enthusiasm. I was especially impressed by their interest in the kids and also their ability to play with Ian respectfully. It is clear to me that these children are learning not only academic excellence, but also the precious value of relationships. I can’t help but think my sister has much to do with that!!
