On Friday October 30^th, 2009 I paid a surprised visit to my daughter Emily’s 1^st grade class.  I was very impressed with the level of subject matter being covered.  For example, students purchasing real school supply items with a hand written check! !  On the financial minded lesson front, I asked one of Emily’s classmates Josh when he expected debit cards to be issued; he quickly responded “in a couple weeks”!  Needless to say, Josh’s assessment of matters drew a robust laugh from me. . .

Another observation I made was that Classroom Rule #6 states; ‘No Put Downs, only Put Ups’.  A very solid rule for all of us.

And finally, here’s a few pictures of my gurl making it happen at school.

Emily is the youngest in her class. 

I am so proud of you Miss Emily!

Hugs and Kisses,
