咪咪的學習檔案 — Mimi’s Year End File
每一年 在咪咪生日之前 我都會把她這一年來的作品 出去玩的紀錄 比賽的成績 統統整理在一個檔案夾裡
這已經行之有年 在搬家時 光是咪咪的記錄 大概就有兩大箱
我好像是一個田野調查者 忠實地記錄著我的研究對象 又好像是超級大粉絲 瘋狂地收集心儀偶像的一顰一笑
對我來說 只要是咪咪碰過的東西 即使是一張小紙條 我也會反複把玩再三 確定沒有任何回憶價值 才依依不捨的丟掉
我常在想 這些大概在我雞皮鶴髮之年 一個人在養老院 坐著搖椅 在窗口曬太陽時 陪我度過殘年的良伴
用我巍巍顫顫的手 翻著一頁又一頁泛黃的回憶 不知道那是怎樣的心情?

今年整理咪咪的 file 心情特別不同 一轉眼 孩子的爸已經離開一年了
回頭看這一年的點點滴滴 心裡真的五味雜陳
看著和咪咪去年去紐約 遊日本的回憶 好像是上一個世紀的事了
能那樣心無雜念的開懷大笑 可以用一種純淨的心擁抱世界 是一種幸福
偏偏人都是要等到失去時 才會懂得可貴……
Here are some highlights of her year book….
This was a letter daddy wrote to mimi before he left from his visit in September of 2010.
Art work from Johnson Museum event — Halloween Party
Another school project.
State Theater performane last year.
Judge’s evaluation from gymnastic meet.
The certificate Mimi received from completing a school program.
Part of the completion requirement is that each student needs to write an essay to report their learning. This is what Mimi wrote.
Mimi’s school concert program.
Mimi’s report card.
Another school project. Each child needs to draw the floor plan of their house and come up with the emergency drill in case of fire or other urgent scenario.
Science project.
This is a “game” Mimi created in the classroom. It’s almost like Monopoly. The player will roll their dice and move from one step to another.
All can be folded into a smaller stack.
She also made a container to “place” her game.
It’s called “Beowulf Game”.
Children get to evaluate other children’s work and provide their “inputs”.
They need to give specific reasons of their “likes” and “dislike” to justify the score they assess.
These are my retirement home reading materials…..
