Like last year's kids, this year's class of 2nd and 3rd grade hopefuls were a bunch of nervous wrecks knowing that they had to present three reasons before a secret judge who would tell them whether or not they would be promoted to the next level! The day before they were summoned to appear before the judge, we brainstormed all the reasons they could think of to convince the judge to let them graduate. The kids were even encouraging each other to use their very best handwriting in case the secret judge were to look at their papers. (Hilarious!)
This year I convinced my husband, Mr. U, to be our judge. Unfortunately, due to my lack of planning amidst the end-of-school-year craziness, "Judge U" had to do without the judicious robe. However, with gavel (more like rubber mallet, haha) in hand, the kids were still quite nervous presenting their cases to him as you will see in the video down below!
