Nick had a planet project due recently and let me tell you this boy was on fire for this project. The picture is of Nick holding his very large project and his grade; 50 points out of 50 points! Woot, Woot. He's a lot like Mike when he starts a project, he's very meticulous. He has definite ideas how he wants his project to turn out. Sometimes mom and Nick go head to head on these projects, imagine that? But dad and Nick do just fine - like father, like son. Anyway, it was an absolute joy for me to watch Nick throughout this project. Nick had many struggles his 1st and 2nd grade year but 3rd grade has rocked and even with all the testing our government has pushed on our kids, it was refreshing to Nick (and I'm sure the other third graders too) to get excited about something and really learn something, without being tested on it. Nick can recite all the planets and tell you what is special about each one of them. He also tried out for the third grade planet play (more on that after May 8) and got the role he wanted, Mercury! As a mother my heart is full to see and watch my boy this year. While is it true Nick shows affectionate easily (physical touch is his love language, ha), about two weeks ago we were at his spring fling so there were people everywhere and the school was a mad house. Nick and I were making our way through the school when he saw his third grade teacher, he went right up to her and put his arms around her! Sometimes actions speak louder than words. Well done, Mrs. Westerfield, well done.
