Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

Thanks for keeping up with us. Happy Holidays to everyone!

On the first Friday of every month Noah’s school invites parents into the school for “Parents as Learning Partners”.

For the first Friday in December we helped the kids make snowflakes that would decorate the school auditorium.

Ms. Bartolomé giving the kids some tips before they get started.

Like a winter sun struggling to climb into the sky, young Noah and I struggle to get dressed so we can get him to school on time.

Later that night we had a conference with his teacher about how he’s doing, and what we can work on with him.

As we walked home Noah and I played “tag”. At one point while we were running around Noah hid behind Kate and when he did he put his two front teeth (which were loose) on her bag. When he moved, his two front teeth came out. There was a little shock after he quickly picked the teeth up…

But he was tough.

We got him some water.

He took a minute to get used to his new mouth.

The next morning at school he was king of the yard.

It’s the end of October. Noah’s class is going on a field trip to the Bronx Zoo.

Young toughs waiting for the bus.

Mrs. Bartolome rounding up the troops.

Giraffes, and ostriches, and zebras…

Hecklers.

They even steal my hat…

Monorail.

Tiger.

That smell?

Elephants!

The two dual-language Spanish classes together.

Done.

End of October, chaperoning these kids as they go on a trip to the New Victory Theater.

Growing up in NH I never thought I would be trying to wrangle my kid and his classmates in Times Square. Good times.
