Emma gets the Principal's Award!!!!


Emma had a GREAT week! She is LOVING first grade and it shows...she has been reading up a storm and has taken tons of AR tests on the books she has read and already has about 7.5 points. I think she is the top in her class. Then they have this fun online math game called First in Math that the whole school can play and it scores them. The top person of the day in the class gets to wear a little necklace saying they are #1....well Thursday she got to wear it! One day last week I went and ate lunch with Luke but couldn't with Emma because the babysitter was only available during Luke's lunch hour. Well Emma was a little bitter about that. In fact in her family journal that came home this week she asked WHEN I was going to go and eat with her. I surprised her on Thursday, because Matt worked from home, and I met her for lunch. She was beaming when I saw her and she proudly showed me the First in Math necklace! Then on Friday she came home with the Principal's Award!!!! What a week! I am so proud of my little girl who is growing up so darn fast! Congrats Emma on all your hard work!
