I am completely and pleasantly shocked! They gave out the student of the month awards and when Dakota's name wasn't called, I was pretty bewildered. I knew she wasn't getting an attendance award, and as I said earlier, the little ones usually don't get one of the keystone awards.

7 keystones, exhibiting behaviours such as courage, dilligence, perceverance, honesty, integrity, self-control, and forgiveness. Teachers, administrators, the duty aids, parents, etc when they spot kids doing something that goes along with the keystones put in a form with the kids name and what they were witnessed doing and then the kids are given awards. Usually with the little ones it's an instant reward, they get raffle tickets to the weekly drawing, rather than waiting 3-4 months for the awards ceremony.

Dakota managed to score two! One for self-control, and they quote on the award from the form thats put in, hers says, "Dakota makes good choices in her behavior." That's from her teacher. The second one, and I admit I almost choked on my tic-tac since this is the child who is still holding a grudge from the time her brother ran over her toe with a scooter when she was 1! was for showing forgiveness!!! The quote on that one is "Dakota shows forgiveness inside the classroom as well as on the playground." I am so surprised, LOL! And very, very proud of her! Self-control and forgiveness, wow!

Congrats Kona and Reader!

Reader -- I just have to ask -- what does he have written on his left hand?? I use that trick all the time (my HS kids laugh at me, but at least I don't forget!) Nice to see someone else doing the same thing.

Caleb came home today with a letter congratulating him for making student of the month last month and informing us he'd made the honor roll! The ceremony for the certificates won't be til next month, towards the end of school since they do the whole trimester at one time. For some reason, the honor roll is always a trimester behind (so he earned it for 2nd trimester, even though they are on the third.) He (and we) are so proud of him! Student of the month is fun, but all the kids get it at some point during the year. But we all know he had to work for the honor roll. He's also pretty excited cuz that comes with a free pizza, LOL.

It comes at a really great time too. They've been doing the state testing and the poor kid has been so stressed over it. He was convinced if he didn't do well he'd fail the third grade, and everyone has had to talk to him and tell him thats just not true, it won't effect his passing. Sometimes he's such a serious child and such a worrier about things he can't control.

And then this evening he so completely shocked us with how mature he was. We realized that he has a game tomorrow night at the same time Dakota has practice at another park, which also happens to be the same time I have to be working in the snack bar. Now I'll be able to watch him play from the snack bar, but working I won't be able to be out there yelling and screaming for him, and Dad will miss a good part of his game. I'm going to truy to get my mom to go, but I'm not sure she'll be able to. So tonight we're telling Caleb that this just happens to be a badly scheduled night and while I can watch, I won't be out there to cheer him on and he said, "that's ok mom, you'll be there to see me play and daddy will be there later. I'll be fine." Dakota would have a meltdown if we had told her that and I think even last year he probably would have too, but this year he's grown up a little and knows sometimes we just can't help it and we have to do what we have to do.

Justin took second place in forms this Saturday at his karate tournament. Big deal for him because he moved up to the next group and most of these kids are 1 - 2 years older and have been training for between 1 & 3 years longer than him.
