When Emily was in Kindergarten, she floored many people with her accelerated reading skills. One parent still recalls the time Emily was reading out loud and read the word metamorphosis correctly and without hesitation. That parent urged her son to "sit by the smart kid" from that point on.
Now that she is finishing up second grade, she still "wows" the crowd and is frequently asked to help other students with their work as she flew threw hers.
That is the Emily that many of the students and parents know at her school.
My favorite version of Emily is the one that asks for Lip Blam because she can't get the BALM part right. Or today she gave me a chuckle when she asked for a Neopitopian (Neopolitan) ice cream cone.
Now if we could only end the confusion of Emily calling me her teachers name, and her teacher being called 'Mom'.
