Thursday, February 19th, 2015“DEAR EMILY,
It’s me, your pal Maggie. I wanted to write to you to tell you how my school year has gone, so far. I just started kindergarten. When we visited the Field Museum last spring, I told you about being scared to start school. You told me to remember that I had lots of knowledge to share with the other kids and that for this reason I should be excited about going to school.
Well, I took your advice and I am now the class go-to-gal for science information. My teacher relies on me for facts, and even pronunciation. I helped her to pronounce ‘capybara’ because she was unsure.
I love to share what I know in class. This past week I was excited because we were studying butterflies and I got to share what I learned from your ‘Brain Scoop’ episode about butterflies and moths.
My family and I have enjoyed watching the Kenya and Peru videos. I liked watching the bats – they are some of my favorite animals. And then there are big cats. Those are my absolute faves.
I hope to come visit the Field again.
Love,
Maggie

When I lose sight, buried deep in the annals of institutional roadblocks, I take some time to remember why it’s worth turning this slow, heavy ship.
