Alpha Wolf: Caleb Moskowitz

I'm on a conference call at work and my cell phone rings.  I notice it's the school calling so I immediately panic and answer the phone.  On the other line was Caleb's teacher Mrs. Wilson.  She was calling to inform me that every week each class chooses a class Alpha Wolf...basically Student of the Week!  Mrs. Wilson lets me know that Caleb has been very attentive in class and setting a great example for his fellow classmates.  IT'S A SECRET but he will be announced in front of the entire school during Good Morning Slaughter (GMS) on Friday!  So we got up early and the whole family, including Gamma, went to our first GMS.  What a great atmosphere!  All the kids sit nicely in their class line, say their pledges and sing the national anthem.  Then each grade has a role call.  I will say that I was tearing up.  I am just so proud how grown up our little Caleb has become.  Not to mention seeing how much of an impact the Slaughter teachers have already made on these students!  K - I -N -D - E -R!

The Kindergarten teachers start announcing their Alpha Wolf of the week.  CALEB MOSKOWITZ IN MRS. WILSON'S CLASS!!  Caleb stood right up, grabbed his certificate and sat on the stage.  It appeared as if it was no big deal.  Later, he told me he saw the certificate with his name on it so he knew it was him...as he snickered.

Alpha Wolf: Caleb Moskowitz

Caleb & Ava (our neighbor) were both Alpha Wolves this week!

PROUD parents of our 1ST Alpha Wolf!

So what does Alpha Wolf mean besides just being a good student?  It means REWARDS!!  Caleb received his certificate, a HUGE sticker, line leader and the keeper of Spunky, the class pet!

And Gamma visiting for lunch!!

At the end of the day, the Alpha Wolf is sent home to take care of the class pet and his journal.  It's an exciting time for the two because both Caleb and Spunky get to have adventures with each other and then write all about it!  And adventures they had!

They hung out at Heritage Learning Center

Spunky rode a motorcycle



Spunky & Caleb played with Clifford & Ava

They CRASHED after a long day of playing together.



He even watched Caleb play soccer



GO CALEB GO!

Once again, we are truly proud of our Alpha Wolf!  We know Kindergarten has taken a toll on you, but you continue to thrive and EXCEED our expectations.  Keep up the great work!  HOOOWWWWLLL!

SOME OTHER HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE ALPHA WOLF WEEKEND:

Ava and Caleb writing in her journal.  These two play so well with one another.  We are lucky to have been blessed with such great neighbors!

Austin & Ryan cleaned out Susan's storage shed...and he came home with a 'classic' 1992 skateboard.  It's just amazing what they think is cool...and not TRASH! 

Me and my littlest man.  We love to snuggle!
