Honor Roll



 Emma with her teacher, Ms. Duran, and principal, Mr. Warren

We were really blessed this year with a great Kindergarten teacher, Ms. Duran.  Emma has learned so much from her and we are really proud of what she has accomplished.  We were especially pleased when we found out that she had made the Honor Roll for Trimester 2!  Kindergarten has standards that are a little different than the rest of the grade levels.  They have one set of standards for the whole year that they have to learn by the end of the year.  So for Trimester 1, no student made the honor roll because they were just starting to learn everything.  For trimester 2, only a small handful of students had mastered all of the standards already to be able to receive the honor roll award so it was extra special.  We are so proud of Emma!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

As a working mother from home, I don't always get to do the super great things that I wish I had time to do with my girls.  But, I get to stay home and take care of them, and I do try to squeeze in some fun things.  One of those things is our St. Patrick's Day treasure hunt!  I did this last year for the girls and when it hit March 1st Emma wouldn't stop talking about how she was so excited for the treasure hunt on March 17th!  So I decided it would have to be a tradition.  Since it was on a Sunday this year we had to wake up extra early to find what the little Leprechaun left us.  I was also so proud of Emma because she was able to read the clues all by herself with just a little help on the big words.
