School News

This week, I had conferences with both children's teachers. The teachers reported that the kids are doing well and right on target. I was so proud to hear about their accomplishments this year and how much they love to learn.

On Tuesday, Nathan was chosen as the star student. That day, he was the line leader all day and got to eat lunch at a special table with three friends he chose. I asked the teachers later because I was surprised that he didn't pick kids he often talks about at home, and they explained that they think he chose the three kids that were closest to him at the time!

As part of his "star" treatment, he was interviewed and his answers were displayed on the bulletin board. Here are his answers to the questions he was asked:

When I grow up I want to be......a soccer player
My favorite subject is ........housekeeping
I am good at .....playing baseball and tennis and volleyball
I am proud of myself because......I help my mom do some jobs and I recycle
What I like most about school is......playing with my friends
I am the star student because ........ I am so smart
