Michael's 3rd Grade Time Capsule

Michael's third grade teacher, Mrs. Delgadillo, came up with a great little keepsake for her students.  At the beginning of the year, she had them make a time capsule about themselves.  All it required was answering a series of questions on a piece of paper that she gave them.  At the end of the year, she handed them a duplicate page to fill out.  This way- the kids could see how they changed over the course of a full school year!  Michael never told me that he had filled this out at the beginning of the year (not a shocker- I hear very little about class activities) so when he brought it home- it gave me a good giggle!

Because I know my Michael, I can tell that he was a more confident kid at the end of the year.  A new school year brings on some challenges that are obviously overcome by the end of the year.  I can tell by some of Michael's answers that he mastered the third grade and felt pretty darn good about himself . . . as he should.  He is one amazing kiddo!
