“I’m in third grade now”
The girls both had homework on their first day of school; they each had to fill small paper bags with items that represent their personalities and interests. I helped Avery with her bag and started offering Zoe some suggestions for hers when she stopped me. “Can I do this on my own because it’s my own project?” she asked with a serious tone. She paused and said, as way of explanation, “I’m in third grade now.”
