Awards Ceremony

Today they had the Award's Ceremony at school. Emmie was honored for getting All As this year! We are SO proud of her!

(I can't get over how grown up Emmie looks in this picture!)

Emmie REALLY struggled in math, especially the first half of the year , and we spent HOURS upon HOURS each week working on math. She worked SO hard to do her very best on all her tests. It would have been so easy for her to have given up at some point when it was hard and frustrating but she pushed on and tried so hard to learn the concepts that were difficult for her (skip counting, especially backwards, still gives me nightmares!). We were so blessed that she had a teacher that wanted her to succeed and allowed her to do math in the way that worked for her. I think most of all I'm proud of Emmie for learning how to work through the hard stuff!

We had to celebrate Evelyn too of course! (Ruthie drug her notebook around all morning...apparently she was taking lots of notes on how to be a second grader!)

Sweet school AND dance friends...Evelyn, Emmie, and Ainsley!

PS. Thanks so much to all our family who couldn't be there but tuned in to watch!
