Stars Upon Thars

Miss Savanna finally got a turn to be Star of the Week in her second grade class. Apparently this has been a very big and much awaited honor, and it made her little heart so happy to be chosen. (I don't know if it was any consolation, but I did inform her that she's the star of my week every week.) 

We did her "All About Me" poster last weekend, and on Monday she got to bring in a show & tell item of her choice, so she brought her latest volleyball trophy to show the class.

Yesterday (and this is the best part) she brought home a "Star of the Week" book that includes notes from all of her classmates about what makes her a star. 

Some of my very favorite snippets:

"You follow all of the rules. You get work done in a timely manner."

"You never give up when something is hard."

"You are encourageing when you tell people to never give up and to keep trying."

"Your fantastic at drawing stuff lik rainbows. I like the way you have a smile on your face evryday."

"You help someone if they get hurt and say 'Are you okay'? You are nice, you make new friends every day and you are never mean. Keep up the good work."

"You are a good friend because, if someone is eating or playing alone you say do you want to play or eat with me. If someone does not no a math or Fundations you say do you need my help. If someone does not have a snack you ofer them some."

"You make smart choices."

"You show caring by helping people when they are hurt and with math. You also have a kind hart to me."

"You make up the funish games ever."

"I do like you but sometim I don't like you but I stool like you as my friend Savanna and I can't by a ticket for you too go LEGOland." (Savanna was quite scandalized by this last entry that's "not even nice," and asked if she could rip the page out of her book.)

I could go on and on. There were some pretty funny and adorable things in there.

I"m so happy to see that this little star of ours carries her kindness and love around with her wherever she goes. She is heart-meltingly sweet and we feel so honored and blessed to have her in our charge.
