King Joe

On Friday, Joe was King for the day.

This is his teacher's fun way to get to know the kids a little better and spotlight them for the class. She has each table (4 kids) be the king and queens for the day. Joe is the only boy at his table, so on his day, he was the king, and there were three queens.

Thursday he came home with a crown and a spotlight bag. He was to decorate his crown however he wanted and place five items in the bag that would represent him. The kids who had gone on the days before had been given Thor crowns. Joe had planned to put his face on Thor. He was a little disappointed when he got a BK Club Kids crown instead. It did not slow him down to much though. By the time he had walked home from school he already had a new plan. For this crown he wanted to take advantage of the word club. So we made it into a club Joe crown. We printed photos of his friends and brother and sisters and glued them over the cartoon heads on the crown. Club Joe represents the people who like Joe.

The five items he took to share were:

His Karate Trophy

A Joke Book

A Baseball Trophy

A case to a DS game

and something he had built out of Lego's.

It was fun to see how creative Joe is, and also to see what is important to him.

For Joe, the best part of being king for the day was getting to eat lunch with his teacher, and his fellow royals of the day. I thought that was pretty cool too. During lunch his teacher talked to them about school, and friends and some of their interests. He really feels like his teacher cares about him and what he likes. It really made him feel special.
