It's Red Ribbon Week at Derek's elementary school. Each child was given a red bracelet to wear all week long. If the child's name was drawn and was found wearing their bracelet, then they would receive a prize. Derek was so sure that he was going to win. Well, today he came running out of his classroom and yelled to me "I won a prize! It's in my backpack!"
He later told me that his name was announced over the speaker in his class and a "big kid walked me to the office". He chose this pencil and bookmark. It's fun watching how excited kids get over the little things in life. (Hey, I remember how excited I was to win a bright yellow Farmington Elementary Roadrunners t-shirt for guessing how many candies were in the jar.) This is a very fun stage!
(He made sure I took a picture of both sides of the bookmark.)
