Star Of The Week

Fletcher came home Friday with a piece of blank poster board. His name was drawn out of the hat as the first "Star of the Week" so he needed to create a poster all about himself. But there were no instructions. I vaguely remember seeing the teacher's poster at the Open House but I was too busy keeping up with Luke to really read it. I asked, "Fletcher, are you sure your teacher didn't give you any piece of paper with directions?" He said she didn't. I So I emailed her and she sent the instructions. Thankfully, she also sent two picture examples - hers and a student from last year's class.

I had a difficult time not letting my OCD tendencies kick in and do the project for him. I do have lots of cute fonts, scrapbook paper, and crafty stuff. But I wanted him to do work too. The teacher did say parents could do the writing since most of these kids are just learning letters. As you can see we did a combo of both. He drew pictures of most of the items.

We also included a picture of him, a family picture, a picture of him as a little guy, a picture of him playing outside and a picture of him in Gatlinburg.
It took awhile but I think he was proud of himself for writing all those words.
