Friday Greyson received his very first reading award at school. BGA has a computer program, as I am sure most schools have these days, that tracks the level and word count of every book they read through school. Ms. G, the librarian, has set up different levels and awards the first being when they hit 10,000 words, which Greyson did last week. Getting your first AR bookmark is a big deal at BGA and most kids don't get it til first grade. Your name is called and you get to stand up in front of the whole school and get your bookmark and certificate. He was so excited and so proud of himself.
And almost as wonderful as Greyson receiving his award was the reaction of his classmates. They were so excited for him and stood up and cheered when he went up. One of his friends, John Payne, insisted that his Mom and brother come to the assembly and watch Greyson. "It is a really big deal, you HAVE to come, Mommy!" John Payne told him Mom. And Wendy and Elliott actually did come and sat with us as we cheered Greyson on. So proud of my boy and so pleased with our school choice and the wonderful environment from both the students and the parents. Way to go Greyson!!
