Academic Excellence Award


Today I am happy to share my youngest son's first award. So far he is about where he was before school started, not so advanced to skip a grade, we felt he would benefit socially and emotionally doing kindergarten. Well, actually my husband's argument was he shouldn't skip the ability to finger paint and have his first year be creative (before the nose to the grind for twelve years, I agree). Our philosophy is that "the only truly free years in a person's life are the first five until they retire or die".

 

Anthony received... the " Academic Excellence Award" today (not surprised). We videotaped, took pictures, and are proud of our little man. I would love to add a picture but feel it would be too much information to post online.

 

I'll be making him chocolate cupcakes tomorrow so he knows he is our special little man! I already made carrot cupcakes today to reward Tyler for getting all his homework done (weekly packet due back every Friday). I love making the naughty foods a little healthier. I substitute butter for coconut oil and add in ground flaxseed and walnuts. The kids don't get too many naughty foods, but when they do we like to get them to try new things (and as healthy as possible).
