What do they wonder about...

The First Grade is doing a 'Neighborhood Study'.
Today when they walked in they had to write one thing they are wondering and want to know about their community/neighborhood.
I sat next to one of them - his chubby fingers gripped around the pencil and his body still as he concentrated on the words he was writing. His braids fell to one side and his brows furrowed as he tenderly wrote each letter.

"So what do you want to know about your neighborhood, what are you wondering about?" I ask.

He lifts up his head and stares at me. "What I want to know is how we all got our different colors."
