Round Up Time Again

I've of course mentioned that monthly the school holds a celebration to reward the students and celebrate their achievements. Well this month was our turn, of sorts. Kierstin was selected by her teacher as the Gold Medal reader for the month. That means she shows care and concern for her library books, is excited and continually reading and challenging herself with material, and provides leadership to others not so happy about reading. Or at least something along those lines! Adrienne, oddly enough, was selected as one of the 5th grade Athletes of the Month. I'm not trying to be mean, but she is the farthest thing from an athlete in my or even her mind. I kept it a secret as I always do and knew the announcement would catch her off guard. As they started to announce the selectees for athlete she was oblivious, because why would her name every be called in this category. Musician yes, every year she's attended; Artist yes, it's happened too; but Athlete no way never going to happen. When the PE coaches said her name, I could actually see her say the word "WHAT?!" across the room. I was able to get a picture of her standing to walk to the front in that state of confusion. It truly was one the best moments of these Round Ups thus far. I love that she was soo surprised and delighted to be choosen. Here's some pictures of the November Round Up -
