I went to the awards ceremony that they have every year at Jon's school. It's special certificates that the teachers make for each child. Since Jon's home room teacher is semi-partnered with his language arts teacher, the 2 classes had their awards done as one class. (The 2 teachers have to work together, in that they share students. Ms. Hillen had her own class for math and sciences, then switched classes with Ms. Mendoza so that she could teach them language arts.)
The kids were very well behaved while the first set of awards were handed out. Ms. Mendoza had to give the awards for Ms. Hillen, since she had gone home sick.
The kids had been instructed that they could clap, but no cheering. Jon's math award was the last one given, and Ms. Mendoza could not stop the kids from cheering.
I understood the cheering when I found out that Jon was the ONLY kid in BOTH classes to get 100% on the end of year benchmark! He had struggled with math all year!
Jon with Ms. Mendoza, his Language Arts teacher. Jon loved having separate teachers. It gives him a change that works well for him. Ms. Mendoza's award for Jon was "Super Star Speller!"
One of our neighbors had this motorcycle sitting in their garage. Her son outgrown it a long time ago, and the batteries were kaput. We put fresh batteries in it, and now Jon has his own PowerWheels motorcycle! (It has 4 wheels, btw.)
