We are Champions!

Kids surprise me all the time!!  It always amazes me how hard it is for kids to acknowledge how awesome they are.  Don't get me wrong, they show off all the time,  but when it comes to talking about how much they have accomplished this year and the hard work that it required, they instantly become shy and humble!  Classroom Champions was perfect for my kids because it helped them realize that results are always earned through hard work and never just given.  Given their young age, I think that is great.  They can use that message to carry over to next year and hopefully is just a part of who they are!

So, I made time for us to acknowledge our successes this year!  We had a bragging party and each accomplishment was sure to be followed by the steps (hard work) that lead to that success.  Seems like a lot of 2nd and 3rd graders, but they did it.  The energy in the room was really great and the smiles (although humble) we priceless.  Students made awards for each other and I was sure to make note that it took (us as a team) for our successes to occur.

We bring it all together, we made presentations to reflect on Classroom Champions this year. They turned out very cute.  Plus, some photos of the kids getting their certificates from Nate and Classroom Champions.  It was the best to hear kids excited for each other!
