Today was L's awards ceremony at Irving. She's in the middle of the picture, holding up her folder. She received nine awards: Character Education (for demonstrating outstanding character throughout the year), You're Wonderful (because of how well you participate in class discussions), Bookworm Award (for demonstrating a love for books and reading), Spelling Super Star (for showing off sensational spelling skills), Egg Drop participant, Young Author (for writing well-written and creative stories), Academic Fair participant, Student Council member and Circle of Friends member.
Of all of these, L said she's most proud of the Young Author award because she never received that one before. L really enjoys the time she spends in the Circle of Friends. It's a club that brings special education students (including her friend Mila) together with the rest of the school population. They play games, eat lunch together, create skits. L's career goal as of third grade is to become a special ed teacher and I think a lot of that has to do with the time she spends with Mila and how accepting her teachers and L's teachers have been of her helping Mila since kindergarten.
