Trevor had his 2nd grade award ceremony on Friday. This year they did things a little different. Instead of taking forever and calling each kid up, they did a fun slide show of all the kids, called out lists of names for different achievements like honor roll, excellent conduct all year, perfect attendance, etc, and just had the kids stand up when they called their name. Then with the rest of the time they let the kids do quick talents, mainly funny poems, short piano pieces, and a song. They all sang together "Deep in the Heart of Texas" and were all really cute.
Trevor came home from school last week and said he was going to play the piano for the awards. Really? Because he hasn't really practiced since his recital in April since his teacher had a baby a few weeks ago. So I didn't really pay much attention to his comment about playing until his teacher stops me at school on Thursday afternoon and tells me about it. She laughed when she heard he was only practicing at school. But he did a good job on "Old McDonald" and had a cute bow at the end.
In the older grades the magnet foreign language teacher picks one "Outstanding Student" in their language and that student receives a trophy. This year Trevor was the "Most Oustanding Chinese Student". Way to go Trevor!

In addition to being recognized for the Chinese award, Trevor was also singled out for Honor Roll, Excellent Conduct all year, being one of the top 3 readers in all of 2nd grade in the AR program, and was voted by his classmates as the "Citizen of the Year" in his class. As his teacher said later to me, "Trevor did alright for himself this year, didn't he?!"
The most remarkable thing about this was Trevor did NOT like to read going into school this year. Last summer I had to nag him everyday to read for the reading program at the library. But something clicked early on in 2nd Grade and he has truly learned to love reading. I love it when he comes to me with a book and says I should read it, or when I bust him reading in his room 1 hr past bedtime. So to go from not enjoying reading to loving it...more than video games most days, is one of the greatest accomplishments of his year - yea Trevor!
