As you know, we did the Parent/Teacher conference last week.
Harper’s report stated that she represents feelings and ideas in a variety of ways.
She shows confidence and takes initiative.
She responds to sensory input to function in the environment.
Yesterday, when I asked Harper what she learned in school, she handed this to me:
Apparently, “responds to sensory input to function in the environment” is fancy for “totally relates to Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.”

I always gets, “Works independently, but at her own pace.” Which is shorthand for, “stubborn as a mule and try to hurry her along at your own risk.”

I love this artwork!!! I wonder if it represents some moment in the class or just something that came to her…

Looks like a tab of E on her tongue, and she’s off to rave.

I foresee a successful future in horror remakes of the Muppet Show. Rip their eyes off! More blood! More blood!

One time, I made a craft in school that was a card for my mother to tell her I loved her and thought she was the best. Unfortunately, my teacher was too busy to spellcheck it.
I ended up giving my mother a lovely card that said, “Mom, you are the beast!”

The flashbacks this artwork induced were highly satisfying.
