School Awards

I am constantly amazed at what these kids can accomplish!  Over the last month or so Colby and Emily have been given some pretty awesome awards at school.

First of all for doing outstanding work in their classroom and on their homework and second for their participation in the Reflections contest.  

Each month the school has a Super Spirit assembly where kids are recognized for their outstanding work.  The last couple months Emily and Colby have both been recognized.

Because they received an award, they got to run in the Canyon Colt Stampede.  This is where kids who have received a recognition award, Spirit award, Principal's 300 Club award, or made an RC jump (reading points award) get to run through the halls of the school.  For some reason, this stampede is a huge motivator for the kids.  They love running in the halls.  So far this year both Colby and Emily have been able to run every time!

Next is the Reflections awards: 

Both kids wanted to do a Reflections project this year.  The theme was "What's Your Story."  Colby drew a picture of a rocket and included the caption "Someday I want to ride in a rocket and see the Earth from the sky."  He received a participation award from the school and a medal and a bag of goodies.  He was pretty happy about that.  Emily submitted a music composition entry.  She entered her piano song she wrote in her Let Play Music class.  It was entitled "Me and Kit" and her story was about how she loved to play with her doll Kit and if you listen closely to her song, you will hear her and Kit playing.  Emily's piece was able to go to the District Reflections competition where she was awarded an Honorable Mention at District.  We were pretty impressed and happy for Emily.  She also received a participation award, a medal, and a goodies bag from the school.  Each of the kids entries will be saved and displayed at the school's leadership night and Arts Fair in February. 

Colby has also been working on some fun projects in Kindergarten.  He painted this pumpkin in class I think it turned out pretty good.  I like the happy face.  Then for November, we disguised this turkey as Captain America.  Colby came up with the design all on his own and I just helped him cut it out.  I think it turned out to be the best turkey in his class. (I may be a little biased...)  He was pretty proud of his turkey.

On Veteran's Day, the PTA put on a Patriotic Night and Emily sang a few patriotic songs with the choir that night.  This program is always a really nice way to honor all of the veterans as well as the first responders and police officers in the community.  

These kids are doing really well in school and they love going each day.  I am so proud of all of my kiddos!
