“Ms. Amy!” N calls during indoor recess. I’m sitting at my desk, working on our literacy power standards document. She’s in the mini-atelier of our class with some of her classmates, listening to music and drawing.
“We forgot to give you this!”
She hands me a big sheet of paper:
“I love it!!” I exclaim as I sing the lyrics aloud. “But what’s this blank space??”
Before she can respond, I’m already singing: “Cause I’ve got a blank space, baby, and I’ll write your name!”
She laughs and tells me she was going to say the same thing.
