it gets better

So not only was Mason's first week of school great, we found out on Friday that he is this week's "Star Student"!! What does this super special title entail, you ask? Well, his picture and a poster about him are posted in the hall near his classroom. He also got to bring in some of his toys to share with his class. And most importantly, he is line leader for the week!

They also talked about his name today--how to spell it, how it is different from the other names, and each student drew a picture of him and his teacher put the drawings all together for him in a book. It was soooo cute!!

Big news for Reese, too!! He was also chosen as "Star Student" for his class for the month of August!! I don't think there are quite as many plans/celebrations for the title in his class, though he'll have a poster with his picture on the wall of his classroom.

How proud is this momma??!?!

On another note...if you have a little one learning letter sounds, you must check out Leap Frog Letter Factory!! I got this for Reese (after reading about it on Nikki's blog) at Target and he wants to watch it all the time. I was pleasantly surprised an educational video got such high marks from him!! He sings the little songs ("A says ah, A says ah, all the letters make a sound...{you get the idea}) which are pretty catchy. Even Mason (who knows the letter & sounds) likes to watch. I wish I had known about this years ago!
