TO THE OFFICE, YOUNG MAN!!!

So today Grady had his first trip to the Principal's Office!!!! Fortunately, it was because he did something great....had you all going, didn't I??!! The last couple of weeks they have been studying the rainforest, and today they made pictures of parrots. The children could use whatever materials and whatever colors to decorate their birds...well it seems the art lessons from last spring have finally paid off! Ms. Amy was floored by how Grady had colored his bird--while staying in the lines--perfectly matched pieces of felt to design the birds wings and cut a piece of construction paper for the bird's perch!! She was so amazed that she took Mr. Grady to show the director, Ms. Kim, who's reaction was "Holy Smokes!, That looks like a kindergartener could have done that!" In the last few weeks, Shawn and I had noticed that Grady had been coloring much, much better--staying in the lines, choosing different colors to color with, not always the same color for an entire picture--so I guess he decided to strut his stuff at school today!
