Happy New Year!

I wanted to give a quick recap to our last month of 2010. The biggest, most exciting news was finding out that Will was chosen to be Student of the Month for the month of December. Woo hoo!

Student of the Month Dec. 2010

We got to go to an early morning (7:15am) breakfast in honor of the students that had been chosen. Each teacher gets to choose one child each month to receive the award. It was a big deal and Will was so very proud of himself. We found out about it in a letter he brought home from his principal. He had no idea what it said. I had just found it in his folder. I read it and then showed it to him. He, literally, screamed! He was just so darn excited. It was really very sweet!

Will up on stage after having his name announced.

It's not a great picture, but here he is after being called up on stage. Unfortunately, because of a snow day, the breakfast was pushed back a day and Will's teacher, Miss P, was not there that day. She was preparing for her wedding to take place two days later. So, he was given his award by his sub, Mrs. K, who is a retired teacher and well known and liked. He was okay with it. His other teacher, Mrs. K, came up to us afterwards and told us that both her and Miss P. knew Will deserved the award that month. He had worked so hard all quarter and they had both been impressed when he presented his Star Student report to BOTH classes, at the spur of the moment, when the other student was absent. He just rolled with it and presented to 50+ students and did great!

We are so proud. We also found out that Will's all A report card landed him on on the High Honor Roll. His name was even in the local newspaper because of it! Awesome!!!!! Again, he was so proud of himself and what he accomplished.

We've continued with Dr. T and he is doing real well there. She always comments that he is such a hard, self-directed worker. Makes a momma proud!
