Star Student and Field Trip Time!!!

Last Friday Justice got to go on his first field trip with his class.  He was so excited to ride the bus and go to the farm he could hardly contain himself.  He came home when the names were drawn for the chaperone's and tried very hard not to cry that I could not go with him. I knew he would have a great time even without mom!!!  Mrs. Moore made sure he got with his best buddy Anawin's group and his mom, which made it even better. I am so glad he had such a great time even if mom couldn't go with!!!  There will be many, many more field trips I am sure I will get to go on with you!!!!!

Justice was the star student this week so I sent a special lunch with him to make it even more fun since we could not celebrate his day with him like the other kids get to on their star student weeks!  I think his "big sandwich" from Subway with all his special surprises inside the bag and coming in at the end of the day with a big bag of goodies to share with his class while he shared his star poster with the class was a great way to end a fun day!!!

Justice loved that Freedom Bear went to football practice and was actually in the huddle for the biggest game of the season for Jax.  Mrs Moore told the class that Freedom Bear had never been to a practice before so that was pretty exciting!!!!!!

For his star student week we had a lot of fun doing all the little projects that go a long with being the start student!  On Monday Justice brought in a few of his favorite items.  They ask that you don't just bring in a bunch of toys so I made him think of things that he really liked or loved.  He took in his Nintendo DS (no surprise there), his blanket that Jax had as a baby and Jax has given to him to sleep with now (even though in the middle of the night...it still ends up wrapped around Jax's neck, Jax's football picture (because Justice can not wait to play football like his brother) and a bag of his DS games!  On Tuesday he took a book with him.  He is not into a "favorite book" so we just chose a Curious George book.  I am really bad about reading to my kids, even though they read to each other and love reading.  Wednesday brought on the estimation jar.  Lots of sour patch kids and gummy fish... (gross) and Friday was his love letter and poster!  He got jipped with having Thursday off for a holiday and the field trip, but we made up for it with a special star lunch on Monday of the next week!

Here are a few things Justice wrote about himself on his poster:
