My Desk

While I was on lunch break, a second grader walked to his locker. He had a huge paper in his hand.

“Ms. Hurley”, he said, “look!”

“What is this?”

“This is for my desk.”

“For what?”

“So I can always put my things in the right place.”

“Oh,”

“And what are you doing now?”

“My teacher told me to put it in my locker.”

“Can you show me how it looks on your desk?’

I followed him to his class to look at his ‘desk protector’. He was so happy to show me his idea that he took out his supplies to show me how his idea would work.

Some people made fun while I took the photos:

The best part of my night was meeting two educators. One from New Jersey who was also a photographer and I also met a retired editor from Essence magazine. I also enjoyed meeting Bisa Butler.
