To make the week even better (if that is possible), Ellie found out on Monday that she is the Student of the Week. All sorts of fun things come along with this honor. A few of them are being line leader all week and getting to run errands to the front office, passing out the hand sanitizer before lunch (this is what she's doing int he picture below).
The best part of all is getting to bring home the Student of the Week backpack. In the backpack are two stuffed animals, Lucky Bernard and Whiskers. The student of the week gets to choose one to take with them everywhere all week, even home! Ellie chose Whiskers the cat. She also has a special journal in the backpack that she gets to write in each night about the fun that she had with Whiskers each day. We're having lots of fun with Whiskers so far and we'll post something next week all about Whiskers adventures with Ellie.
