Clue-less

I need to revise Mallory’s calendar to include “Monday is SHARING day”, which comes after Sunday “Staying home day”.

Sharing Day in the Bumblebee room has been a cluster for us. Mondays are hectic enough as it is, let alone trying to remember something for Mallory to bring for sharing. So Rick & I were pretty happy when we remembered Sharing Day the 2nd, 3rd and 4th weeks of school.

That is, until Alli’s mom mentioned something about remembering what LETTER they were on for Sharing Day.

Wait  – WHAT??

The calendar they send home every month, has a letter assigned to each week…and apparently the sharing item for Sharing Day is supposed to start with that letter. I thought the letter just indicated what they would be concentrating on that week in school.

A few things about this:

1. Oh.
2. The teacher – after I joked with her about actually REMEMBERING Mallory’s sharing item on her actual day – never mentioned that I was a complete idiot for not adhering to the “letter”’ thing.
3. Oops.

This week was “E”. Monday morning I tracked down a plastic egg from Easter. It was half pink and half green. (If I hadn’t found that egg, she would have taken a real egg – from my fridge).

They have to take the item in a bag, and then give three clues to their friends so they can try to guess. When I picked her up from school, I asked how sharing went.

She said she gave these clues: It’s pink. And green. And shaped like an egg.
