Dollar is busy showing off his new clothes in our classroom lately. First, Carly brought him back to school dressed in a very cool Clemson T-Shirt. The next thing we know, Nolan brings him back to school with the addition of pants and socks that he and his mother made. Now Dollar has gained a suitcase and a Build-A-Bear clothing collection thanks to Laniah! Most recently, Nolan has given Dollar a shark's tooth necklace for good luck. Is this pet spoiled or what? It's amazing to watch the kids in action with Dollar. They show such responsibility for Dollar, always finding a "babysitter" when they need to leave him for any reason. Brooke shared a brilliant plan for her new business today. She's planning on opening a babysitting service for Dollar. I think this will go over VERY well! I love the critical thinking skills that go into REAL World learning!
This week Chet introduced the class to Dollar's cousin, Dollar Bill. Dollar Bill was a gift for Chet's 9th birthday last weekend. Dollar Bill now comes to school too! The kids were in awe of the "birth" of Dollar Bill and Chet is such a proud dad!
I also had to share this picture of our latest "Nunamaker Idol" competition. During the "commercial break" our fabulous volunteer, Ms. Schafer (aka Brooke's Mom), led a song with the kids. The class thought it was too cool to get to sing with Ms. Schaefer. We ALL adore Ms. Schaefer. Thank you for all that you do for our kids, Julia!
