Silly stupid things but I am proud anyways. We have been teaching junior that the holidays are a time to do nice things for others. Today he told me that he wants to go to the store and buy more items for the classroom's treasure box. If kids earn a certain number of points a day they get to pick a treat from a box at the end of the day. He wanted to bring in new items for them to pick from. He went to grab his wallet as we left for school so he can go to the store and buy things later. I told him it was a great idea and we would go shopping together and buy stuff for his classroom, but he didn't have to use his money.
He then decided that he wanted to bring in treats for his teachers too. He is currently thinking about what he wants to make for them this weekend.
For a kid that hated school recently things sure are changing.
