School boys

I am so proud of my little man, Kaden was awarded the Kiwanis Terrific Kid at school! Unfortunately he was supposed to get it last Friday when he was home sick, so he didn't get to participate in the actual presentation part of it. Bummer, I think he would have gotten a kick out of that. He wouldn't participate in a photo op either but here is his award:Kaden's teacher aunts (Belva Jean and Jackie) will both appreciate this: Last night we were working on Kaden's homework, he has progressed to some reading work because he is doing so well!! His worksheet had pictures with missing first letter of rhyming words, okay so that is harder to explain then I thought. _IG were the words on the sheet, the pictures were of a pig, big, dig, and wig. Kaden was able to figure out all the pictures, come up with the missing letter and THEN he wrote each letter perfectly all by himself! I am so proud of how he is doing! He is enjoying school so much and Thursdays are still his favorite because he gets homework!

Luke Thomas just had a fun project at school, 100 days celebration. They had to bring 100 things to school, or wear 100 things, or write 100 things, you get the idea. So between our brains we came up with 100 Superheros or Villians. I made the chart for him and cut out the faces but Luke helped color, wrote all 100 numbers on it and decided where each Hero or Villian should go and boy where those BIG decisions!!! Notice Uncle James that Captain America is first, that was for you. "Uncle James would like him there, Daddy likes him too." We've taught the boy well, huh? :) The whole family (minus angel baby) helped out. Kaden helped place some guys on there, Gabriel stole a marker and colored on it (so maybe that wasn't so much a help...) It turned out great and Luke is really proud of himself! What a fun project for Kindergarteners!

Placing the faces and writing the numbers all by himself:

I am so thankful that (for the moment) my kiddos LOVE school so much. I am praying it stays that way, there's lots more school to go!
