A very interesting observation from last Thursday, that day happened to be the birthday of two girls in my class… lets call them 2007F3 and 2007F4. So some background, 2007F3 is a bit of a slow girl, not much personality and does not seem to have many friends in my class. I get a lot of blank looks from 2007F3. She does have her good spots though… during show and share she is really animated. 2007F4 is quite a lively girl, lots of friends, very socially active… sometimes too socially active. 2007F4 has been talking about her birthday for a week prior to the event… inviting friends, going on about what she was going to do. 2007F3, she didn’t even mention her birthday until two days before the event. She made a half hearted attempt at inviting some kids to her birthday. We sat at a carpeted space in our classroom and sang happy birthday to the both of them. 2007F4 was grinning from ear to ear, squirming with delight and just soaking up all the attention. 2007F3 just looked at her hand for a bit, then at her knee, then at something else in the room. She didn’t seem to know that we were singing to her… even when we actually said her name in the song! Strange… maybe it is just because I am such an extravert, but 2007F3’s reaction just does not strike me as normal.
