I'm so excited for Lili, her name finally came up last Friday for Queen of the Week. Basically this little person is the teachers helper for the week and gets focused to learn more about. The entire class learns to spell their name, draws a portrait of them, she gets to bring show and tell each day and she gets to make a poster about herself (by the way she says she wants to be veterinarian now), her favorite things and about her family. At the end of her reign the entire class does a cheer spelling her name and it just seems like it makes them each feel so very special.
Monday, she took her tiger Rajah and said the class was amazed how it growled and moved. She was proud to say that the person that liked it the most was her teacher, Mrs. S. and to top it all off it was her turn to bring snacks so she took green sugared shamrock cookies from the bakery.
Tuesday, she took her tiger & cub figurines. They asked her lots of questions about what other animals she had. So many the teacher let Lili decide whose questions she would answer.
Wednesday, she's was mad there was no school for PM Kindergarteners, but since she came with a bad cold its a good thing she was home.
Thursday, she was still pretty sick but insisted she HAD to go, she couldn't miss a day of being queen AND the kids were able to bring a teddy bear to school today and there was no way she was wanting to miss that. She showed her Air Force bear she won at the DaddyDDance. She said everyone said he was really cool and all the boys wanted him.
Friday I was there to volunteer and it looks like Lili got her wish to stay on til Monday at least. I got to see her do the calendar and show her cat, but it was a fast and busy day.
Monday I asked her teacher if I could come in the few minutes before class end to catch the cheer, it was cool. I wondered if any other parents have known about this and gotten to see it.
