Today was awards day at our son's school. 2nd graders!:lol:
After sitting through all those little smarties getting their math, reading, writing, art, perfect attendance, most improved, all A's, citizenship and on and on... No award for our son! What? I felt so sorry for him and thought they were gonna give him some bogus award, you know like, best board eraser or best teacher kisser upper! ;-)
We then have the SCIENCE awards! Yay! Our son gets the Science Award, one out of the whole second grade! Woohoo! They were very creative with those awards so every child could get one. I'm so glad he got an "academic" award!
On to the classroom, where the teacher has her own awards to present. She explains she has put a lot of thought into each award. They are for each student according to their best abilities and talents. The first award was the "Future President Award." "For always being able to talk his way into, and out, of everything!" Of course, I wasn't surprised when our son's name was called! Boy did she hit the nail on the head! She said some day he will make a great politician!
Do politics and science mix?
