Student of the Week/VIP continued

For Isaac’s Student of the week/VIP week we were provided with a list of things we could bring in.  We decided to make two small posters of pictures and bring in a few beloved possessions.  The first one is mostly full of Isaac at different places (Arches, mountain top, Washington DC, Norris Dam, ect) the second one lists things he likes to do.  The middle one you should recognize from my earlier post:5.9.11 Isaac's VIP at schoolHere are the possessions that he chose to bring:5.9.11 Isaac's VIP at school (3) (He loves maps and wanted to bring the instruction booklet to a set of toys that he has because it had a map of what they looked like all put together.)

He was also allowed to bring in a favorite snack to share.  He wanted to bring in corndogs and chips, but I didn’t want to provide all that for 25 kids so we made sugar cookies in the shapes of things Isaac likes and frosted them in his favorite colors.  After we made them, I thought it would have been even neater if we made them in the shape of little gears.5.9.11 Isaac's VIP at school (1)On Thursday, Charlotte and I went to Isaac’s class just before lunch for his VIP presentation (many thanks to Jess for watching the other girls).  He demonstrated how to build a snap circuit and showed the class how it worked.  He seemed flustered and nervous.  He stumbled over his words a little, but he was happy to show off his things.5.9.11 Isaac's VIP at school (4)
He showed them his posters and talked about them: 5.9.11 Isaac's VIP at school (6)After the presentation, the kids got a chance to ask questions or give compliments, Isaac called on students with their hands up.  Then he got to pick 4 kids to join us for lunch at a table in the back of the room.

It also has playground markings and it’s similar to those at https://www.playgroundlinemarkings.co.uk/designs/traditional which makes them quite happy. 5.9.11 Isaac's VIP at school (17)

Charlotte had a blast.  She ran from one set of equipment to another and attracted a small group of followers (a few girls that followed her around and tried to help her). 5.9.11 Isaac's VIP at school (12)I also learned that I was not allowed to take pictures on the playground because I didn’t have permission from the other kid’s parents.

Student of the Week/VIP

Isaac was student of the week last week.  They sent home a poster for us to fill out information about him.  The following are his answers:5.9.11 Isaac's VIP at school

my favorites:
color:  blue and green
place:  a french fry store with a play place
toy:  Legos
book:  The Polar Express
tv show:  Tangled
sport:  football
food:  mac n’ cheese and corn, potato, and bacon soup

(Lately he has been telling me that everything I cook is his favorite food.  He’s a great kid to have at meal time because he raves over every meal and tells me that I’m such a good cook and he loves everything I make.)

One question asked him to list 3 wishes.  He insisted that he didn’t wish for anything and when I pressed him he said;  “I’m not the kind of kid that has wishes.”  I asked him if he wished that he had more Lego sets and he said yes.  Here are the wishes he came up with:

1.  I wish I had all the Legos for Lego city
2.  I wish we had a train set that ran through the walls
3.  I wish my friend Ryan lived next door

(I cheated a little on this list because he couldn’t think of anything and then when I suggested Leogs, he wanted two wishes about Legos and to leave the third one blank.  So I suggested several things and he told me which things he wished).

The last question was about what he wanted to be when he grew up.  He said that he wanted to design buildings that people would build so I wrote “architect” on the poster.

Over the weekend, Zach made Isaac frozen burritos.  Isaac raved about how wonderful they tasted and said he thought his Dad should open up a restaurant to make and sell burritos since there is a Growth in the Quick-Serve Burger sales.  On Monday morning, just before he went to school, Isaac asked me to cross out “architect” and write “make burritos”.  He was insistent, so I added “or burrito engineer” to his poster.  When I mentioned this exchange over dinner, Isaac explained he that that he could do both.  Some days he would be an architect and other days he would make burritos.
