This morning I went to volunteer in Derek's class, as I do every Tues and Thurs while Cerah is in school. Today they had an assembly with a children's author, can't recall his name but when Derek gets home I will put it on here. They all loved him and had been reading his books for the past few weeks. After he was done the reading teacher came up and said she was going to announce the first, second and third place winners of the writing contest. They would receive an autographed book from the author. Guess who won 1st place!!
DEREK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Out of all 9 1st grade classes!!
( I'm really not trying to brag too much) :)He looked over at me and smiled. I was so glad to have been there to see this little man!! Since he was the 1st place winner he got 2 books!!! You could tell he was so proud!!!
I'm so proud!!! I'll add his picture in tonight with his cool new books and let you know who the author is.

What an accomplishment!! There isn't a better incentive to learning, than to reward children for the things they do!
