Do any of you remember the thread where I pointed out how to read ancient Mayan numbers? Check out what my Ana did.
On the first day of 4th grade, Ana comes home and tells me about her day. She got to school that morning, settled into her new class with her new teacher, and at some point they get to talking about math.
Ana informs her teacher that she can read the numbers on ancient Mayan hieroglyphs. Her teacher told her she was being silly.
When she told me about it, she said 'It was like she was saying I was lying.'
I asked her why the teacher said she couldn't, and she says 'Because she said 'That's silly. No one can read them.'
I just smiled and asked her what happened next. She insisted she could until the teacher made her prove it.
Ana went to the chalkboard and taught her entire class, and her teacher, how to read the numbers from ancient Mayan hieroglyphs!
HAHAHAHA!

YESSSSS!! Well done Ana! Sometimes grownups forget how they learned things in the first place. And some of them ...... sadly ........ forget to go on learning for their whole lives. Your teacher will never forget what she learned that day.
I'm so glad that you believed in you at a time when others didn't. You showed 'em, Ana!
All I can do when I think about that teacher telling her she was silly is...
HAHAHA! HAHAHA! HEHE HeHe HeeHee!
There is a reason that kid is A Honor Roll and Student of the Month TWICE last year.
Her sister is A Honor Roll too, and Principles List (A's only) and was also Student of the Month last year too.
Every year they have been in school they have both captured Student of the Month at least once every school year.
They have never been off the Honor Roll.
I have the coolest kids! I am so proud of them!
BTW, did I mantion Ana is half MAYAN?
HAHAHAHA!!! HEHEHE!
Mayan - oh that is beautiful!!! In every sense.
