Parker's Award

Parker received an award on the last day of school for the most improved stufent in his class. This award was given out by the Blackfoot Elks Club and he recieved a cool medal and I was so proud and pleased with him and how much he has advanced this year. He has had some struggles, but has worked hard to overcome them and to do his very best and that is what makes me so proud. He had completed the 50 in a minute challenge for the first grade and has excelled in math. He has also worked super hard, especially the last few weeks of school on his reading so that he could get to 100 AR points before the end of the year. I was about in years one morning when Mrs. Hunt called me to tell me Parker had good news, when he told me that he reached 100 AR points I about started crying! Yay!! He was thrilled to finally accomplish this goal as well. So I felt like this award that he received at the end of the school year summed it up pretty well. Parker has improved so much and I hope that he continues to work hard and have successes in school! I love this kid!

Math Award

Parker recieved an award at school for completing the 50 in a minute for first grade. He has accomplished sums to 5, differences from 5, sums to 10, differences from 10 and sums to 18. He passed off the first and moved on to the next until he had completed all that was required for 1st grade. He got a medal at a school assembly (Which also happened to by crazy hair day, the wig). I am so proud of him for working so hard and being such a great mathematician. He really is good at math, now if we can just get him better at his reading.....

Parker's Award

On the 4th of January Parker received an award at school and I was able to attend to see him get his award. Each month the school has an assembly and 3-4 students from each class are acknowledged for their achievements in their classes. I think this is wonderful for the other students to see what they peers are accomplishing and it sure makes the honored student feel great. Parker was so excited to finally be one of the kids that got an award. His teacher, Mrs Hunt, is wonderful and I think she looks for the best in each of her students. Parker is really lucky to have her. She picked Parker for the month to receive the "Personal Successs Award" for spending extra time practicing his reading and for being a magnificent mathematician. He received a "star" necklace, a gift certificate to Wingers, and the certificate with his picture on it. I was really proud of him and his hard work to get his award. He really is good at math and it seems like the numbers come to him pretty naturally. I hope he continues to enjoy math adn excell at it as he gets older.
