Leo on the Map

Leo really hit the teacher jackpot this year in first grade. No only does he have his main teacher who he says is "The Queen of First Grade," but there are all of these helper teachers that come to his class that he really likes. 

And they did the CUTEST project recently. I had to post it on the blog so I would have it documented. I mean, this is something I won't even throw away but still, it's hard to dig through a memory box and find it. Actually Leo gets out his memory box about once a week. He once sat in our foyer and greeted guests with it. "Do you want to see some artwork I did in preschool? Did you know I donated money to service dogs for my birthday?" 

But the recent cute project is called "Me on the Map" and it shows Leo's world, starting with his room and ending with his continent. This little person on the string is supposed to be Leo. Gus has gotten to it so it's not attached anymore but the idea is you can put Leo in each of these places. Here are a few highlights: 

It was Christmastime when he did this so there is a Christmas tree (on his floor?)

He sort of got the placement of our house right. We are on the other side of the cul de sac.

This one is my FAVORITE--his city. Target ("Targite"), church and Kroger. That is our little bubble!

And this one is funny because he thinks his state is North America!

So that is a glimpse into Leo's perspective. His teacher may be the Queen of First Grade, but he is the King of his own little world, Targite and all.
