Walker had an extra credit project
due over an arctic animal.
When I first heard about the assignment,
I told Walker we should sit this one out
(knowing that it was due right after I had the baby).
He would have NO part of that!!!
"Mom, it's for two extra
100's in science!!!"
Walker was assigned the King Penguin.
He had a list of things he had to research about
his animal, write a report, and
present it to the class.
Can you EVEN believe they do this in first
grade now?!? WOW! I remember my
first report was in the fourth grade not first...
over the Dingo!!!
It wasn't nearly as good as Walker's!
Walker was REALLY into this project
and had definite ideas of his own on how
he wanted his poster to look and
what he wanted his report to say!

The day before I had Hudson, we were in the Hallmark shop looking at Webkinz.
Walker stumbled upon this special edition
Webkinz...of the KING PENGUIN!!!
He had to have it for his presentation
(even if it was 25 bucks!!!)...
Walker and I worked on the report together.
Then he and Troy chose the
pictures for the poster and printed them out.
Walker cut the pictures
out himself and glued them to the black paper.
He decided what to write by each picture...
including the line in the middle of the poster:
"King Penguins are Cool."
It was VERY important to Walker for Hudson
It was VERY important to Walker for Hudsonto be in this picture with him. He told his
baby brother that he could totally use
his poster and report if he gets the
King Penguin when he's in first grade!!!
I just can't express to you what an
I just can't express to you what an AMAZING big brother Walker is. It's unreal!
Ready for presentation day!
Ready for presentation day!He said his presentation went well and that

This wasn't the only excitement from last week...
on Thursday Walker hopped into the car
after school with the biggest grin on his face.
"I got all three awards!"

I hear that you are a wonderful big brother to Hadlee and Hudson. That's awesome! Your mom has also told me what a big helper you are for her and your dad. Even though you and I have never met, guess what? I'm proud of you, too!
Keep on being the great student, son, and brother that you already are. I have no doubt that you will accomplish great things in your life!
