One of my first graders, Evan (I gave them their English names—this one of course after my dear Evan Jenkins) acts like he wants to be a teacher, today parroting our instructions and telling his classmates to hand in their workbooks to him. Last week he finished his workbook earlier than the others and started walking around looking at the others’ workbooks, saying “goo[d]!” and pretending to draw a star on their pages. He was pretending to be me—it was the cutest thing ever. I think Evan was a good name for him.
