Last week Nathan had his turn to be "Mayor" of his class. He got to bring something special in each day, be the line leader wherever they went, lead them in the daily Pledge of Allegiance, and lots of other fun stuff. Here is the poster he brought in to show the class "All About Nathan..."
Here is a better view (notice that when he grows up, he wants to be a 'right ingenere' (Wright Engineer...just like Daddy:)
Waiting to show his poster to the class:
The Presentation (he was so cute...maybe I'll post the video:)
The Mayor taking his lunch break:
...and getting a "high-five" from little brother for a job well done:
He took a story to read to the class:
He did a great job!
I think his favorite was taking in a "Mystery Item." He gave the kids clues and they had to try to guess what was in the bag:
They had some pretty good guesses! He had taken his "headlight" that he uses to read with in bed at night. It was tricky, but one little girl finally guessed a helmet with a light on it. Nathan decided that was close enough. :)
He also got to take treats for the Estimation Jar (71 Easter suckers to be exact!)
But the highlight of the week was probably something not even related to being Mayor. We are lucky enough to have a home teacher who works for an ice cream company, and he brings us a nice stash of ice cream every once in a while. Well, last month Nathan asked him for some Cotton Candy ice cream and he said he'd see what he could do. Apparently they only make that flavor for ice cream shops and he had to get it in a 3 gallon container:
Oh yes!!! These kids were pretty excited. We had to do some serious rearranging in the freezer to fit that baby in, but it was worth it. Cotton Candy is now one of our favorite flavors. I stocked up on cones big time at Target. We'll see how long it takes us to get through it!
