Student of the Week

And yeah, I'll get to Halloween tomorrow. Need to finish uploading pics... Anyway!

Natalie's teacher selects one student each week to be SOTW. The Friday prior to their week, they are sent home with a poster sized piece of paper that they can decorate however they want - pictures, etc. Then the student presents it to the class. There are a bunch of other activities that go along with it too - her teacher's intent is to get the students to really know each other - fosters friendships and a better classroom environment, and she found it discourages bullying when the students know more about each other. Anyway, one of the activities is each student draws a picture, and states something they like about the SOTW. Natalie's packet was sent home today - so cute. Most of the kids said things like "I like Natalie because she talks to me" or "she plays with me". My favorites were these -

"I like Natalie because she makes me feel better when I'm sad".

Then Lexi's - "I like Natalie because she likes to play at my house" - Natalie has never been to Lexi's house. They are good friends though - Lexi is very sweet.

And the best? Joey's. Natalie's "boyfriend".

"I like Natalie because she's cute".

I swear she swooned when I read that out loud.
