…and we’re back

Today was the first day back after our President week vacation. In one of my first grade classes, he teacher was asking kids what they’d done over the break. One of my kids, a rather bright and verbal 6-year-old, said, “I went to space.” The teacher, who has increasingly become kind of sick of her class (that time of year?) was annoyed, thinking he was joking around. I asked him what he meant, where did he go, and he said he went to Florida. He didn’t know the word for airplane or to say “took a flight”, but clearly he had seen enough movies about things going into space!
