Mismatch Day


Cameron is so lucky to be in one of the "team teaching" classes at his school. They have a team name, a daily meeting, and they learn to work together. They also are able to separate the kids into groups according to their level of learning to give them more focussed attention. Cameron loves his teachers and enjoys school so much.

One of the things that they do is "Fun Friday". The kids earn a special activity each Friday by completing their assignments on time each week. If they don't complete and turn in their work, they go to study hall instead. They do things like making crafts, playing kick ball, learning dance moves, and lots of other fun things. Sometimes they have parents come in to help with the activities and I'm so excited for my turn that is coming up soon!

Another thing that they have is "Panther Praise Points". They are awarded points as a class when they do certain things. Once they reach 20 points they are given options for a little something special. In the past they have had pajama day, extra recess, and things like that. This time the class chose to have "Mismatch Day". They were supposed to wear the craziest mismatched outfit that they could come up with. Cameron and I had so much fun the night before going through his closet and finding the silliest outfit we could. I am so thankful for his teachers and their creativity in keeping learning fun for the kids and making school enjoyable. It makes it so much easier when your kids WANTS to go to school every day!

Here is Cam's crazy outfit...

Callie had to sneak in on the action... ;)
