Is There Any Such Thing as The Speed of Dark?

This was Noah's profound science question of the afternoon. This kid has such interesting questions. Often times, he is to busy talking to actually let you answer.

This layout is about one of Noah's journal entries in Kindergarten this year. The teacher, Mrs. Barclay, said it was all she could do to stop herself laughing while talking to Noah about the drawing he had done of me. Apparently, he drew of picture of me taking a shower and of course, I was not wearing any clothes. He delightedly showed the rest of his classmates this crayon rendered likeness of my female form. Mrs. Barclay said that she told Noah to put a towel on me three times very gentle, yet firmly. He was exasperated that he had to alter his great drawing and thought it silly that I would be caught wearing a towel in the shower where it would get wet. Noah has yet to do any more of these risque drawings. I wonder if Noah will some day be included in the likes of Gaugin, Picasso, or Ruben...you know it could be called the Noahesque Period.

Thank You Mrs. Barclay


Text: "Thank you for the continuity of love and concern you have shown Noah this year! I appreciate you helping him strive to accomplish his best effort in all of his assignments and learning to respect his fellow students and himself. You have infused his day with a joy for learning. You know of his weaknesses and try to help him overcome them and you know his strengths and you give praise."
