Star of the Week

Hannah was star of the week for her class.  It was a big assignment.  She was randomly selected on a Friday, then we had to bring the following to school on Monday:

• pictures of her
• items that represent her
• completed "Star of the Week" form
• pictures of her doing things with Sparkle the stuffed moose
• 5 sentences describing what she did with Sparkle the stuffed moose
• items to go in an estimation jar (not anything that we want to keep because items will be passed out to the class)

We took Sparkle to Lakeside Nature Center and met up with Grandma and Grandpa.

We also took him to the zoo for Nikita the Polar Bear's 9th birthday.  The girls were really excited about it until they realized Nikita would be eating the cupcakes and not them.  It was still a beautiful day at the zoo.  A lot of people had the same idea as us and we randomly ran into two people we knew.  I love it when KC feels like a small town.

And on the last day with Sparkle, Hannah lost another tooth!  She is now up to six.

And then on Friday she gave a presentation to the class talking about the pictures and items she chose.

Her Star of the Week form says

• Age: 6 1/2
• A word that describes me: helpful
• My favorite food is: macaroni
• My favorite color is: pink
• My favorite sport: soccer
• When I grow up: teacher
• One thing I dislike is: tornadoes
• My family members are: Mama, Dada, Olive, Rosa
• These are my hobbies: nature walks, drawing, biking, swimming, running, building circuits

Then (yes, there is more) the class listed adjectives to describe Hannah and her teacher wrote them on a page.  Each classmate wrote at least 5 sentences about why they liked Hannah and it was all put into a book with the adjectives sheet as the cover.  It was really cute to hear the kids describe her.  I want her new nickname to be "big brain," but Hannah doesn't think it is as funny as I do.

Olive made a page for Hannah's book, too.  The numbers are showing that Hannah always divides the cookies so it is fair.
