His Medal
It was pretty nice because the principle came from the school. His teacher must have forgotten, but the principle texted her, and she came in time to see Mica go up to accept his award.
The author and illustrator Bruce Arant who wrote Simpson's Sheep Won't Go to Sleep! came to talk. He talked about the process it took to get a book published, read the story, showed his comps, and did a drawing with the audience involved. He drew an animal body, and asked different kids to raise their hands to add different animal body parts to that. The boys enjoyed it. I got his book at the end. I gave it to Isaak because it's more his reading level. The author signed the book.

Ah, I missed the post where your husband got a new job! What is it?
(You can put your answer here, I check back to these blogs :))
Michael, He going to be teaching adults with special needs art. He's in training for 2 wks. before he starts. He has to know a lot of medical stuff to. He seems to like it so far. Just a lot of info. It will be a challenge for the kids, as he won't be here to take them to school and pick them up. They have to do before and after care. We'll get used to it though.
Congrats to Mica! What a great kid!
