Classical Conversations Recitation and Awards Night
On March 31, 2009, Steven and Ryan participated in their Classical Conversations Recitation and Awards Night.
Foundations:
Mrs. Brown gave Ryan the "On the Money" award for being able to answer questions in class. Steven received the "Math Whiz" award from Mrs. Boeke for having a reputation with math timed tests. Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Boeke came up with very catchy and appropriate awards for each of their students.
Essentials (Grammar and Writing):
Steven got a "Three Musketeers Bar" as an award from his Essentials B Tutor, Mrs. Metras. She tutored the older three students, so the three musketeers label fit the bill. Ryan received the "Constantly a Math Game Enthusiast: Vehemently Opposed to Skipping Math Game Time" award from his Essentials A tutor. His tutor tried to be creative and use "a lot" of vocabulary words in the awards she gave to her eight students.
Steven, along with each of his Foundations classmates, shared his Week 24 presentation with the audience. The topic of each of the presentations was the students' favorite part of Classical Conversations. It was a really fun night and a great way to end our CC year.
As you can see, the kids really bonded and formed solid friendships. Not to mention that a few of them are quite the hams!
Just a hint: If you click on the photo collage, you can see it bigger. I had someone point out that the pictures seem kind of small, so I wanted you all to know that you can make them bigger to view the photos in greater detail.

Those are some of the most awesome named award I've ever heard of - all we had was boring old, "Perfect Attendance" - congratulations to all the parents, tutors, and teachers!
This is my scrapbook blog. It has been designed this way because our children grow so quickly, and we just want to be able to chronicle their changes. I am not a writer, so you will not find any profound writing pieces on this blog; but I do like to take pictures and share them with family and friends.
