Her school has the "Golden Rocky" program. Rocky is their school mascot. He's an American bald eagle. Rocky has a set of rules called "Rocky's Rules". If they do something extra nice they get a golden rocky. When they get 10 golden rockies, then they get to see the principal, Mr. Y. In his office is a treasure chest where they can choose anything they want.

Nobody in her class has been to see Mr. Y yet so they don't know what's in the treasure chest but she has 8 golden rockies now, 2 more to go. She's pretty psyched about the whole thing and she keeps telling me that she tries and tries.

In her class, they have a reading program. Her homework folder has a sheet of paper where she writes the books that she read that night and once she fills up the page, she picks a book from the book treasure chest. To date, she has 3 books from the chest. She borrows 2 picks from the library everyday.

They also have an art treasure chest but I'm not exactly sure how it works though. She loves her art class. Whenever she takes home an artwork from school she proudly shows it to me. If you ask her who her favorite teacher is, she'll say Ms. R, her art teacher.
