Awards Day

Today was Awards Day for 2nd graders at Emma's school. We gathered in the media center for the presentation of award certificates. The teacher said a brief statement about the particular award and about the child it is presented to. At the end of the statement, she revealed the child the award goes to. Emma could have easily been presented any of the awards as she fit into (one way or another) each category.
But when the teacher started talking about a child that goes above and beyond the subject being discussed, always raising her hand to ask a more in depth question, wanting to know more about why and how, I just knew she would call Emma's name. And she did...

Emma was recognized as being an Inquisitive Learner. We could not agree more!

Also...

Emma was tested and accepted into the Gifted and Talented program at her school. We could not be more proud of her! Way to go Emma!
