The other night I was hanging out with my friend Melissa and her daughter Mallory, who is in the 4th grade. Mallory was talking my ear off and telling me all about school. She proceeded to tell me of a girl in her class who had been writing letters to boys and signing Mallory’s name to the letters. I asked Mallory what she said to the girl….
She said, “Let me show you!” She left and then returned from the car with her purse. She pulled out a sheet of paper that had “SIGNATURES” written at the very top. Under that were the Numbers 1 thru 6 and she had all the girls in her class, including herself, write their names in both print and cursive. Under the signatures was a huge question mark and under the question mark was written, “Who’s telling the Truth?” She had lines pointing to the signature that most resembled the handwriting on the notes that were written supposedly by Mallory.
She said she showed the “evidence” to everyone in the class… so that they would know she didn't write the love notes- and that everyone would know who really wrote them.
---So Clever! I just loved this! It was so funny to watch her tell this story and go and get her pocketbook to show me her sleuth work. This is totally something I would have done at her age.
Just wanted to share. :)
