Star Student

Aidan's teacher's try to align their star student days with the kids' birthdays.  Since Aidan's birthday was right before school started, he got to have his star student day pretty early in the year.  This is a really big deal for all the kids.  They have to make a poster that tells all about them, they get to take a couple special things to show the class and then have a special snack.

 The most exciting thing for all the kids is being able to take the class mascot home with them for the weekend.  Aidan didn't know he was going to get to bring Danny the Dragonfly home until he got his backpack to leave and Danny was inside.  He was beyond thrilled!  You have to take pics of what you do with Danny, write in his journal and then tell the class about it on Monday.

We played Aidan's new monopoly game with him

 On Saturday we went to get our family pics done, and then went to pick out Aidan's halloween costume.  Danny tagged along for everything and we had fun dressing him up too!

 Aidan shared his lunch with him
 Then that night we went to see Hotel Transylvania!  We don't see movies very often, but we all thought this one would be good. 
 Sharing his giant bowl of popcorn with Danny!
 Here he is showing off his Happy Birthday and Star Student stickers.  They definitely do a great job making all the kids feel special.
