Today was "College Day" at Claire and Margot's school. Teachers and student teachers talked about college (obviously), and the kids were given the chance to ask questions about what college was like. Of equal importance to my children was the fact that it was a "no uniform" day - instead, students were encouraged to wear college-related gear. Margot's ensemble involved pink stretch pants, a pink long-sleeved shirt, pink socks, and a pink Michigan t-shirt.
I just received an email from Margot's teacher. After first noting that she was duly impressed by Margot's ability to pull together an all pink College Day outfit, she went on to describe what happened when the class began to discuss college with their student teacher, Ms. R, a college senior. Ms. R told the class that she lived at college, and explained how her classes were different from being in first grade. Here's what Margot wanted to know:
- Do you do your hair at college?
- Do you put on makeup at college?
If there was
any doubt about whether this child takes after my youngest sister, it has now been fully resolved.
