Mandylubug Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I shall begin. Best All Around Pooper During the Designated School Day: this award is awarded to the regularly regular overachiever of porcelain deposits during study hours. Perfect Pencil Dropping Record: this award is awarded to the child that has been able to successfully drop their pencil and hunt for it daily all school year long. They may even have the ability to drop it while laying in the floor! What awards should you create specifically for your homeschoolers? eta: just a little humor. I am gagging in mediocre awards of PS students on social media today. Figured we could award our kids of stupid stuff, too! 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SebastianCat Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Reward for longest Lunches ever. How could I forget this one? My kids did group standardized testing yesterday and the test administrator announced at the beginning of the morning that they would have a 30-minute break for lunch. Somehow my kids managed to eat EVERYTHING in their lunch boxes in 30 minutes. That's a world record for fastest lunches ever for my kids.
