Write Away....

Vinny was given a project over Spring Break to write a book! I did not realize until yesterday this was not a mandatory assignment but an extra assignment. It took the full week to get him to do this book. I actually thought I may choke him during the process. It is not a secret that Vinny hates the subjects writing and reading in school, he favors math and science. His book had to include a cover, title page, pictures, about the author page and a picture of the author. His book is completed and he brings it to school right after Spring Break and it goes out of my head. Monday we get to school late (due to another writing project not completed on time, see a pattern here?) and we where told Vinny was recognized for a writing award for his book. It was voted the best in first grade! SHOCK SHOCK Vinny couldn't believe his ears and really I couldn't either, all this on a project that was not mandatory on a subject he dislikes. WOW what will second grade bring?
