So all you have to do to get this kid on fire is to have a reward or opportunity to score points to win and you have him lite. For TWO AND A HALF WEEKS Matthew wore this to school. They were studying the Apple Valley Pioneers and each student earned points for dressing up and working on other projects that were pioneer related. He got points for the hat, the jeans, the button up shirt, the vest, the bandanna, the belt, the dark shoes, carrying his books over his shoulder and his lunch in a bucket. He went ALL out every day. I don't think there was anything he left out. Then when it came time for the projects, he did it ALL on his own. He built a diorama of a school house, he wrote a letter with charcoal, he made a list of school house rules with a quill pen, he built a covered wagon, he practiced "I've been working on the railroad" to sing to his class and more. He was also given the pioneer name of Mark Allen (funny since we have a friend in Katy with that name) and played a part in a family of boys.
And yes, he earned the most points in his class. Congratulations Matthew on all your hard work!!!
