Last week was Olivia’s turn as her class’s “Featured Friend,” a program her teacher has implemented so that each student is highlighted and celebrated for a whole week at some point during the school year. The kids are given a poster board to create and share a timeline of their lives, and they are encouraged to bring in other materials and persons of significance. Beni and Reed made an appearance early in the week, and I stopped by for an origami demonstration and question-and-answer session that left me as baffled as Sarah Palin after a Katie Couric interview. (Sample questions: What is your second-least favorite color? Can you say something in Chinese? What is your third-most favorite mammal?)
