Jack, the VIP...

Jack has been patiently waiting to be the class VIP for oh so long. Well, last week was his week. He got to fill out the poster you see in the picture, and then bring toys to school to put on display. It was both amazing and a little annoying at times to be a part of his energy thinking about what to bring to display at school. There were many legos brought as well as his Oregon football. I was quite impressed that he took his Star Wars bear. I thought it was cute, but Kyle thought he might get teased for bringing a stuffed animal to school. (the other boys thought that it was cool, and there was even another little boy who had the exact bear!) Friday he had to do a little "presentation" in front of everyone. He did a great job. He did not seem nervous. We were very proud of him!!

A couple of things to notice about the poster, if you can see it. He decided that he would color the boy to be an Alabama football player - hence the maroon, the 22, and the lines across the face (that is his facemask). He is holding a football as well. I was quite impressed that he chose to color it as a football player instead of trying to make it look like him. He had to list things that he liked and disliked as well as family members and what he wanted to be when he grew up. His favorite food was jambayla. His favorite animals were a cheetah and trout. He dislikes his headgear! He wants to be a basketball player when he grows up. His favorite tv show is ESPN. He favorite books are the Chronicles of Narnia.

Rynn's 2nd grade class got to have a 'party' that they voted on.
Choices?
1. Watch a movie and eat popcorn.
2. Have ice cream and play games.
3. Bring your favorite stuffed animal to cuddle all day and do activities with the animal.
What won?
The stuffed animal. 20 2nd graders toting in their cuddle nighttime animals to school. I couldn't believe it. Nice to know kids can still be kids! Love the bear!
