1st Semester Award

A couple of weeks ago Mason's school had their awards ceremony. Mason was awarded the "Most Improved Academic Achievement" award. His teacher said he really deserved an award but that he couldn't give him the academic semester award because he wasn't here in the beginning of the school year. We are very proud of Mason. At his previous school he was in a multi-age program where the teacher let them study at their own pace. She also didn't give spelling tests, or any other kinds of tests. So, when we got here and Mason had to take his first test ever, I had to explain to him what a test was! Funny but true. Anyways, since being here he has scored 100% on every single spelling test and vocabulary test. In the Math area his test scores are in the 90% - 100% weekly. This little boy has been blessed with good genes! He is very competitive in school. He reminds me alot of his Uncle Mike. In this area that is a good thing!
Look at the excitement on his face. After the ceremony I asked him what he thought of his award, and in true Mason fashion he was sad and upset. He thought he was getting something better than a piece of paper! He said he should have gotten a big bucket of candy, or something cool like that! What a goof ball he is.
