對話視窗培養了我讀取他心情的能力,
簡單文字,簡單頓號~叮叮傳來簡訊,
讀到他當下的委屈,擔憂,無奈,緊張,焦慮,
還有想家的心情。
"two more days"~
"its not so well"
"i am tired"
"its fine"
"want to see the kids"
"miss you guys"
"that's that"
Erin is adamant that she does not want me to take any pictures of her, so I didn't. However, I can tell you that on Tuesday, when I had Josh and Piet doing some work matching the Montessori Golden Bead materials to the written numbers, 2 and 3 places at a time, Erin asked me if she could do it too. I explained that the bell was going to ring soon, and so there wouldn't be any time, but that I would do it with her the next day. She gleefully said, "Yeah, it's my favorite thing!"
Yesterday I did that work with Erin and Naomi, and Erin did it really well.
Today, I was doing it with 3 other older children, and Erin came and patiently waited for a turn. She did it with no problem, and continued to do it on her own.
What happened to that girl who was afraid to do anything challenging??? She was in my class last year--where did she go?
