First Grade Talent Show

Were has the school year gone? Thursday was Rylee's First Grade Talent Show. Each child was asked to share their talent with all first graders and their families. Rylee and her friends didn't want to participate. They were scared of getting up in front and showing off. No amount of talking on my part could change her mind. She finally decided on sharing a picture that she had drawn. She was convinced that she wouldn't have to talk. Surprise!! Mrs. Torgerson had her go up and show her picture and say her name. She did it and was all smiles afterwards. They started out with singing a summer song all together. These kids have really grown up over the past 9 months.

Afterwards we all went back to their classroom for cookies & lemon water. The kids served the parents first and finally they each were able to eat a cookie. They each had a portfolio of writing and projects for the year. Again, I am amazed at how much she has learned and progressed this year. We are so proud of her!! She has also had another year of 100% attendance.

Congratulations Rylee! Annalise had 100% attendance from kindergarten until this year. Jeff took her out when they went to Tennessee for a funeral. She's definetely a healthy girl. She didn't get it from me as I was always out a couple times a year due to sickness. :)
