Awesome Author

Today I got to have lunch with Rachael at school. She was selected as an Awesome Author for the month of November. I am so proud of her. Each month only two students from each grade are selected for this honor. Parents are invited to join their student for lunch and then all of the students that were selected get to read their writing to everyone at the lunch. The writings are then posted for display on a wall for the whole school to enjoy. In the above picture, it was Rachael's turn to read her poem that she had written about her Dad. The man in this picture told me that her poem brought tears to his eyes.
All of the students got a cookie when they were done reading their writings.
Here she is with her award that will go on the fridge and then into her special box for her special things.
The pictures are of course out of order. I brought Rachael Wendy's today for our lunch because that's what she had requested for her special day.
My Dad
My dad is strong
My dad is thoughtful
My dad is not harmful
My dad is nice
My dad is healthy
My dad is meaningful
My dad has a lot of friends
My dad has a girl named Keri
My dad is my dad
That is all I want him to be
My dad will protect me
Anywhere I go
My dad will always be in my heart
