Compliments pay off

Today was an exciting day in my child's class. After working all year to get 100 compliments, they did it. Hard work pays off and they received their reward. Their sweet teacher's husband is, among other things, a magician. We are blessed to know him from church and were excited for what the kids had in store. Mr. Ed gave them a magic show to remember. The kids were fully entertained for over an hour. He used several students as assistants and gave them four leaf clovers for their help. The parents were entertained as well. I took several videos, but forgot to ask his permission to post them....but they were great. The hip hop and Forest Gump versions of the cup and ball trick were hysterical.

I know this is a location story, you had to be there, but it was really neat. As a parent, I so appreciate the fact that the kids are encouraged to have behavior that would bring compliments...and are rewarded for that effort. Do we always get a reward for doing the right thing? No. Do we need a reward every time? No. One hundred hard earned compliments are certainly something to be rewarded, and what better than a professional magician?

Thanks, Mr. Ed. You made my daughter's week. She was thrilled!
