Our Little Artist

Elyssa had one of her drawings chosen to compete in an art competition for her school. Her drawing won an Award of Excellence and she was honored at a Reception at her school. All the drawings had to do with capturing a special moment in their lives and Elyssa's drawing was of her painting a picture of her and a flower with a friend in art class.

 

Halloween

Halloween was fun this year. Elyssa was a good witch and Joshua was a ninja. It was hard to get a picture of Joshua smiling. I guess he felt that because he was a ninja he had to be serious. I finally got a smile out of him at our Trunk-or-Treat. They get so excited about Halloween and this year was no different. They are now looking forward to and getting excited about turning six at the end of the month.

Kids With Character

Elyssa and Joshua were choosen from their classes to be "Kids with Character". Each teacher picks someone each 6 weeks from their class to recognize as a student that demonstrates a specific characteristic (similar to Student of the Month). The first 6 week's characteristic was being Responsible. Instead of certificates the school gives each student a yard sign to display. I was so surprised that they both got choosen for the first 6 weeks. They are doing so great and learning so much.
