Getting Ready for Grad
Got my Game Face on!
Game Face is gone...trying not to fall asleep while principal rambles on!
World's best Pre-K teacher: Mrs. Gruhlkey
Joel and his awards
Jeffrey and his awards
Brothers always
Accelerated Reader Award
Jeffrey won a chair. Each year the reading teacher challenges students to get 200 points in Accelerated Reading, if they do they get a chair. Each book in the library is worth points depending on its reading level etc. Anyway, he won a chair last year and he wanted to do it again this year. He got 202 points. We are proud of him because he was able to do this while reading books at near a fourth grade reading level and keeping straight A's and being a good kid! He does enjoy reading and what really helped was the Wimpy Kid series books. He tore through them in a couple of weeks and wanted more.....unfortunately....there ain't no more! So we took him to see the movie instead!
Pre-K Grad and Awards
Joel graduated from Pre-K...We found out he can spell his name and color good! Whoo Hoo! Kidding aside, he received the two highest awards you can get. One of them was Citizenship Award (meaning overall great kid) the other award was Character Counts (only a handful of kids in the whole school got this). With Character Counts he received a Wal-Mart gift card with five bucks on it. When he saw the card he said, "I GOT A CARD!" We told him it had money on it and then he said, "I GOT A CARD WITH MONEY ON IT!" Jeffrey racked up with four awards in the assembly: Near Perfect Attendance (he missed one day! We tried so hard to take him that day but puke and everything wouldn't allow it) All 'A' Honor Roll. (Very Proud of him) Citizenship award (again...good kid!) and Music Award (who knew?!). We later found out that his teacher gave him Handwriting award and Math Facts award! We found those awards in his backpack and asked him about it and he said, "Oh yeah, my teacher gave me two more awards." (He didn't get communication award)
