I must go google. I love when words do that, turn themselves upside down and evoke a meaning, a feeling you never expected. I'm a word nerd. <br /><br />Also, the photo in 20/30 at my place is NOT the view from my window. I've taken to waking up even earlier and walking around the neighborhood, looking for my morning photo. This morning, it was the mesa at sunrise.

The teacher and I went on to e-mail about other things, and I was sure to compliment her on the things I feel she is doing well. I don't want to be perceived as the nagging parent, but there is NO WAY I am going to let her teach my child an incorrect definition. And yes, we do all make mistakes. I was sure to say that as well. ;)painted maypolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06446625015003854710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860476504120652781.post-72069864716813633032009-09-07T09:33:50.392-05:002009-09-07T09:33:50.392-05:00Is this a very young teacher?

I just wonder if she feels she made a mistake that will mark her for the rest of the year.<br /><br />I had a stupidly misspelled word in my first letter home one of my first years, and I was *so* embarrassed. I did, however, correct it immediately to everyone and credit the parent who brought it to my attention. I used it with the students to say that everyone makes mistakes some times.<br /><br />I hope it ends up being a good year anyway. ;-)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02362687820368214420noreply@blogger.com
