Last Day of School Festivities

Well school is out! I have a first grade graduate!!! Dawson got a medal for being on top honor roll all year long. He also got a reading award in his class for reading the most books in his class and being one of the best readers in the class.
He loves to read, he reads in the car, at home or anywhere he can. He can't get enough. I am so fine with that. He ws supposed to get a toy prize, but he didn't get it. He missd the last day of school so that may be why, but I had told his teacher he wouldn't be there. Should I email and say something?

Two or three weeks ago he also was in an art contest. HIs school does an art exhibit once a year. Before the exhibit they have every student do the same project. Then two kids who had the best picture are chosen from each class (the classes all have about 30 or so kids each)and entered into a contest. Then 1st, 2nd and 3rd place are chosen from each grade. Dawson didn't get 1, 2, or 3rd, but was awarded as a finalist and put on the finalist wall at the front of the exhibit.

The Pictures they created are from Van Goh, I believe. It was based on cubism. They drew a drum and guitar and colored them with chalk on a cottonball (which can be hard) and then they cut the picture in 4 pieces and mix them up. They free-hand drew the instruments and I think he did a dang good job for his age!

Here are a few pics form crazy hair/mis-matched day from last Monday. On the one day he can dress mis-matched, he comes out matching. So I had to help him. You can't really tell in the pic, but he has hair sticking up on top and out on the sides. He had fun!
