Isaac "Citizen of the Month"

We are very thankful that Isaac enjoys school. He was nominated for "Citizen of the Month" for being respectful. I went to the school to see him get the award.  It started off with 5th and 4th graders.  There were about 50 of them.  I really don't believe in awarding everyone, otherwise what is the point!  However, when they got to Kindergarten, there were only 5 students so I figured that must mean something for Isaac.  I'm glad he is respectful and gets along with his teacher and classmates.
I had an interesting "mom moment" getting ready for this.  They had sent home a photocopy of this certificate and next to "do not interrupt" it said "practice at home".  Dan and I both thought that was a little strange.  We couldn't figure out why they would nominate him for something if he needs practice.  We talked with Isaac about not interrupting :)  Well, at the ceremony, I realized that all of the students were reading their certificates.  Apparently "practice at home" meant practice reading the certificate :)  I said a prayer for Isaac since we hadn't practiced but he did a great job and spoke in front of the whole school!!
