Nature isn't always cuddly. DJ is well aware of this fact. Although he is more familiar weird-looking sea creatures. For a terrestrial critter, it's still cool. Cool, mixed with just enough weird & a dash of scary.

It's the yearly Book Fair at Davis' school! So neat to see such a big deal being made about books. It has become a tradition that we stop at the cool hanging quilt across from the library with his newly purchased book: The library has a program where money can be donated to either buy books for your student's classroom, or the money can go to a student in the school that cannot afford to buy any books. We posed the question to Davis: money for books in his class, or money for books to a kid that doesn't have much money. He gave a quick response. Give the money that will go to the kid. Even though Davis will never know exactly who he helped out, he's more than OK knowing that he helped someone.

It's a not-so-much anticipated day for students everywhere. Since every student has the potential to do better, the trick is to continue the learning process in a way that involves lots of smiles. We knew soon after walking into the classroom that Davis has this well under control: What makes us so very proud are the 'happy students' that followed Davis' lead. 

for his Halloween costume!

Three Flowers  is what Davis named his painting:

Davis is going for his 3rd week in a row for scoring 100% on his vocabulary word tests! Good luck, Davis! (you won't need much luck though, you've got it already!)
