Chase’s class had a DARE graduation ceremony this morning in the gym at school, and Nanaw went to watch. She got to sit with Andrew’s grandma, Stella’s mom and grandma, and Evie’s mom. The Columbia police chief was there in addition to Officer Roach, the School Resource Officer. (The police chief’s wife teaches at ICS and was Chase’s teacher last year in fourth grade.) All the boys and girls received a certificate and a DARE tee shirt. After the ceremony, they went out to the playground and had Dilly bars. It was early dismissal at school and Chase wanted to go to the little park to play with Brady. When they got there, Cole was there too. Cole’s gotten so tall. They played basketball with Chase’s soccer ball for a while, then Chase decided he wanted to go home. He didn’t have any homework but he and Nanaw went over the first 10 questions of the Ivan book. Nanaw is teaching him to go back into the book to look up the answers instead of guessing at the answers or thinking he remembers the correct answer. Chase told Nanaw that other kids keep taking the Ivan book away from him instead of getting one of their own. So he said he wouldn’t let that happen anymore so that he can look up the answers.
