Little Bee's Horse

Still Life By Ms. Bean

A Fable - By Ms. Bean (7)

Once upon a time in a swamp in Africa, there was an alligator and a bird. They were best friends since they were born. Two days later, Alligator had a horrible toothache and there were no doctors available. Birds father is a doctor so bird crawled inside alligators mouth and cleaned his mouth. Alligator fells better and bird feels better too. Happily ever after.
Lesson: A little person can make a big difference.

Surprise!

I just found this delightful surprise in my purse. Ms. Bean was watching my remedial dance practice leading to the upcoming recital. I guess she thought that I needed a little "pick-me-up" in my "lunchbox". So completely in love at the moment .............

Ms. Beans Valentine to Mom

To Mom, you're the best. I love you so much. You never forget that. Have I said enough? I love you Happy Valentines Day.

To Dad and Leah -- same things for you. You mean the world to me. I love you. P.S. You to Leah!

(Quite Franklly, I like her spelling better).

100 days and counting ..............

Her Native American Name

I wish this could be scanned in its entirety, but sometimes scrap paper isn't as forgiving as one would like.

According to Ms. Bean, the assignment was to give yourself a Native American name and draw a picture to describe it. Ms. Bean responded with true 7-year old enthusiasm ..........

Introducing ......... (drum roll) ..........................

"She Who Brought Music to the World" ...............

We really have to get cranking on those Guitar Lessons!

What is Chitzenship

I just completed a 2-week leadership course in Landsdown. During that period, we spend a LOT if time discussing and debating the meaning of Citizenship. Apparently, I only needed to look in Ms. Beans backpack for the right answer ..........

If I could make the rules

Once in a while, you have a moment when the kids do something so wonderful and so unexpected, you actually need to sit down and take it in. I just had one of those moments. Ms. Bean brought home a huge stack of work that she did during the 1st quarter (2nd Grade). I was half looking at the paperwork, while doing 50 other things and holding 6 conversations, when a slip of paper caught my eye. The handwriting was definitely my daughters, the sentiment beautiful:

"If I could make the rules, I would open a grocery store just for the poor and the price would be very low or no price at all. I would get rid of cigarettes so nobody would hurt their throat."
