Monkey #1

Emilee has been a busy bee at school! She’s gotten two awards recently that we are very proud of!!

First she and a friend participated in the school’s Oral Language Festival where they gave a humorous orative presentation of a poem. They had to have their poem and actions memorized and perform in front of an audience and judges. Emilee and her friend won one of seven finalist spots in the initial competition, and won THIRD PLACE in the final school wide competition! She came home with a trophy and a big smile on her face!!

Emilee also won the monthly character award for her grade. This month was respect. We are now the proud displayers of a lawn placard touting her honor for the entire summer (this is a big deal in our city…to have earned one of these lawn signs in front of your house…the kids all recognize them as VERY cool).
