Lauren was elated. Did this mean that she would be able to solve more math problems?!
For the next few days, life in kindergarten was pretty much the same. Apart from not becoming good friends with Ruby, Lauren had a lot of fun.
However, something happened on Friday that made the entire class admire Ruby.
Friday afternoon was the happiest time for the children. They could leave school an hour early on Friday, and there would also be no classes in the afternoon. The teachers would take out toys for the children to play among themselves.
Lauren asked the teacher for a few pieces of square paper. She planned to fold a few thousand origami cranes and give them to Quinn, Mr. Hayes and Ben as a gift.
Lauren quietly folded the paper while Joie looked on to prevent Lauren from making another mistake.
Milo was playing with blocks and marbles with a few children not far from them.
