World Class Kid: Charlie Grace

Every kid in Charlie's class gets one week to be World Class Kid.  Charlie has had to wait, and wait, and wait all year for this honor.  We have been so proud of her for being patient.  Her turn finally arrived and a lot of preparations had to begin.

As part of her World Class Kid duties, Charlie had to provide a snack to the class.  Most kids pick cookies, or cupcakes, or other favorite treats for their snack.  Our unique Charlie had her own idea... since her favorite food is butter (yes, butter) she wanted to serve something with butter involved.  So Charlie chose the messiest snack in the whole world for 5 and 6 year olds!

Cornbread and honey butter.


So, to help minimize the mess that was about to happen later that day, Mommy organized the cornbread in individual to-go boxes with individual butter dishes too.  They turned out cute and Mrs. Baker was certainly appreciative of the effort to reduce the mess.
 The other preparation was to make Charlie's poster for her interview.  She wanted an "underwater" theme so we got to work on her poster.  We picked out pictures to add to her poster and decorated it with paint and stickers... a fun mommy and Charlie activity.

Charlie was on cloud 9 when we arrived at school for her big day!
 Mrs. Baker introduced the new World Class Kid to all of the other kiddos and talked about her responsibilities for the next week.
 Responsibility #1:  To take attendance and the lunch count on the computer.
Her other duties will get to include being the line leader and doing special errands for the teacher.  The best World Class Kid duty of all is getting to hold Mrs. Baker's hand all week long!
 On to the interview.
 After Mrs. Baker asks Charlie the interview questions, Charlie gets to explain her poster to the class and then they ask her questions.
 Charlie is allowed to bring family members to the interview so we pulled Ryan out of class to come watch.  Charlie was super to have her sissy there.


Charlie and Mrs. Baker... the best kindergarten teacher in the whole wide world

That's our World Class Kid!!
