Homework For Parents… A Clever Assignment

Our oldest son just embarked on his final year of elementary school. He’s off to a good start and he really likes his teacher. He is fortunate to have another wonderful educator guide him through 5th grade. It amazes me how fast his grade school years have flown by. How is he not still in second grade?! His teacher gave parents an assignment that I thought was a unique and interesting way to get know students. He asked that we write about why we treasure our child. He read each letter out loud to the class and asked the students to guess the identity of each child through what was written about them. My talented husband crafted a very creative letter:

 Our Treasure

Imagine you find a box buried in the sand. You brush the sand off the lid and inside this box are several small bottles filled with potions. The potions are labeled “kind,” “considerate,” “funny,” “generous,” “athletic,” “talkative,” and “brilliant.” After drinking all the potions you suddenly feel courageous. Your homework is almost effortless. You’re confident and can’t help but look everyone you meet in the eye. You are logical, compassionate and likeable but often love to lose yourself in a book of fantasy. You are almost perfect, but your little brother drives you crazy by copying everything that you do. This is our wonderful son. Who is he?
Hints: He loves football and cheeseburgers

    Your son is so lucky to have such amazing men in his life who are excellent role models and are genuine about helping him to grow into a wonderful young man. I have to say that I teared up a bit this year when my son was reading his own birthday cards instead of needing me to read them for him. *sniff* I’m sure that I will be where you are in a blink of an eye!

    Stopping by from the More Than Mommies Mixer to thank you for linking up and let you know that we will still be mixing it up this Friday! Stop by and check us out Friday and make sure to enter our giveaway, too! It’s a Mixer themed giveaway to celebrate 4 weeks of mixing!

      It truly does go by way too fast. I really thought this was a great assignment. It’s funny, this picture is only a year old but Joey looks so much younger here, his face has matured so much since then. Growing up too fast!
      I’ll be there Friday!
      Happy Thanksgiving!
