Carter had a few fun things all of his own in November!  First was the 2nd grade Tiny Town.  The kids love this.  They each choose and create a building to be part of their town and then set it up in the classroom one afternoon.  In the middle of football season, of course Carter made the high school with the football stadium.  There are always widely varied amounts of parent participation in projects like this.  My kids want it to be entirely their creation – so all I did for this was spray paint the parking lot and write the name of the school – the rest of the masterpiece was all Carter.  

Carter and his friend had a little eraser they used to play football on the field.  :)

That night was Carter's football banquet.  He had such wonderful coaches who did such a great job developing character and teaching the boys about hard work and being part of a team.  At the end, they called each boy up and said something about them.  (Carter was pretty embarrassed about being the center of attention like that.)  They said that although Carter (who played on the line) wasn't the biggest guy out there, he was the bravest.  His coach mentioned a time when Carter had gotten hit hard and got hurt, and had a few tears running down his face.  He asked Carter if he was ok and if he needed to take a break, and Carter said "no!", wiped his face, and got right back in there.  He had a wonderful attitude and the season was such a great experience for him.  Way to go, Carter!
