Last week, we were invited to our girl Emma's school for an assembly for student of the month since she was chosen for March. She got to go up in front of the school and get a certificate, pizza certificate and pencil from the principal, which she thought was pretty cool. Her teacher read this about Emma:
"Emma is an outstanding student in all areas, a good person through and through. Emma is sure to include all her classmates in partner work or games. She also never has a bad thing to say, she is always kind. She takes her time and puts effort into her work. When she is done, she looks to help others. Emma leads by example, even when I have a guest teacher in the room, I know Emma is one I can always count on to be on her best behavior. Thank you Emma for being so trustworthy and such a hard worker."
She kept looking over at us during the assembly and tried hard not to smile. Funny girl! When she got home, we got her a balloon and made her a card. We're so proud of her. I also had her parent teacher conference this past week, and the teacher told me she isn't supposed to pick favorites, but told me she just couldn't help it. Emma's freckles and kindness to everyone gets her every time. And she's doing really well academically as well. Way to go, sweetie!
My other student of the month is my husband, Dave! He has been working tirelessly on his paper and project for his graduate work for months and months. He finally got it submitted and approved this week! Hooray! Now all we have left is to defend, which will happen in about a week. So proud of him and the quality job he has done! Here he is one morning, sleeping in a bit. He deserves it! He was up most nights until 2 or 3 trying to get this thing done and done. Isn't he cute!? He's probably dreaming of his research during this, that would happen. The topic and his paper was always on his mind, even in his sleep. Now this is the face of a man who has been working hard!
