Star Student, Chapel and first admirer?

Maggie was blessed to be picked as the first star student for her class.  She's had a lot of fun learning about all the privileges and responsibilities that come with it.

The fun started on Friday when she got to bring home the Star Student Poster.  She spent the weekend coloring it and filling in the blanks.  Mrs. Robbins told us during orientation that we of course could help them fill in the blanks.  However, Maggie insisted on doing most of it herself.


Monday she got to present her poster to the class.  Her favorite book that she listed on her poster is rather obscure - it's called "Winter's Gift " and was a gift from Grammy last Christmas.  We stuck it in her backpack and Mrs. Robbins ended up reading it to the class during story time.

This week Maggie gets to be Mrs. Robbins helper - collecting papers, etc.  She gets to be line leader which means she must also hold the doors for the rest of the class.  Today in chapel she was recognised by the principal, Mr. Currie.  She also got to help him lead the pledge of allegiance.  You can watch that video by clicking here or on the link to the right.

During Chapel, the kids recited their memory verse.  The K5 class did great at this! Everyone that tried got it right.  Also, Mr. Currie told them the story of Samuel and Eli and the kids really enjoyed his interpretation. :-)

On the way home from school today Maggie told me that there was a boy who yanked her hair while standing in line to go to the playground.  My first thought was "Oh! Maybe He likes her!"    I tried to explain this phenomenon to her but she didn't get it.  I can't blame her.  Boys are often hard to understand. :-)
