It is hard to believe that my boy is almost finished Kindergarten. Time flies for sure. We had his end-of-the-year conference last week and his report card was excellent. He is the top reader in his class. He is a role model for others. He is respectful. His teacher said that his writing is out of this world. He was nominated by her to be a guest at the Author's Tea. W got to go and have cake and juice and listen to each child read his writing with a microphone. He was more than excited to be there and we were more than proud. (Of course- I forgot the camera but hubby did get it on video)
So the proudness (I Know- not a word) gets better! Let me preface the story....Last week we had TWO umm....long skinny visitors at our school.....yup....SNAKES!!! J was in the cafeteria eating when one went under his table. Long story short, the Principal asked that kids write a story about the day a snake came to school.
So we sat down and he wrote and illustrated a story about the events of that lunch period. Well, each child that wrote a story was given a journal from the principal. HE was so thrilled. Well, that was this morning. Since 7:30 this morning, he has written 16 "stories" in his journal, all by himself. He has written on all topics--mom, dad, Miss M, his school, his pet fish, tee-ball, summer vacation. And they are all well done. There were only a few words I couldn't figure out.
I am so proud of him. He makes his mama smile!
