Since this is our first trip down the fourth grade road, we are learning the cool things that they get to do. We know the big fourth grade bike ride is coming up this spring, and for valentines day, the parents get to go in and decorate their kids desk as a surprise. I am about as artistic as a pile of, well, I'm not artistic. When the day came around, we decided that since my idea of decorating is toilet paper and candles, and both are frowned upon in the school, especially together, that Marcy should handle this one. We didn't know what to expect or what to do. The notes from the teacher warned to not get too carried away and be sure that all kids are equal. They didn't want a parent to try and "win" and bring in an X-Box for their kid when nobody else would be getting that. Marcy was smart enough to take a few things and then see what everyone else did. She said that it was crazy, that kids desks were covered with stuff and I'm guessing, didn't fall into the "don't get carried away" column. Here is a picture of Mason's desk:
I'm glad she took stuff because we would have felt bad if all he had were those chalk hearts, when the rest of the kids got chocolate and champagne. He was really happy with his desk and was surprised as well. Now when Makiah hits the fourth grade, we will have an idea on what we need to do. I'm thinking a laptop and big screen TV, we are going to win next year.
