Awards

The way the primary school and intermediate school are set up they have their class parties and awards always on the same day and the same time.  Its hard to go back and forth to both. But this year I went to Joels awards and then dashed over to Norahs school to her class party.

We couldn't have done this year without her teacher.  We are hoping for a great teacher next year. Norah is already worried about 2nd grade.  I've already promised that I will go eat lunch with her on the first day of school. The librarian is also going to have us come in and help set up the new library so Norah starts to feel comfortable in the new building. 

Colins awards was really fun. Middle schoolers are fun.  He got a few special awards and then they did superlatives. Colin was chosen as Most Likely to be Famous.  Norah leaned over to me during the ceremony and whispered "why would anyone think Colin would be famous" He doesn't have to worry about getting a big head when he does get famous. His sister will make sure of that.

They had a special handshake all year

7th grade was Colins best year ever.  He started out a little shy and unsure of himself and became this really outgoing confident kid. A lot of that is due to his English teacher.  We can't say enough great things about this teacher. Everyone needs someone who believes in them and encourages them in all areas of life.
