Girls school awards

It's been really busy with end of school programs and activites.
Emily - Had her presentation on eagles for her Gifted & Talented class that went very well. They put their skit on a CD-ROM and had it loop. Emily wrote the entire script for her group and help the others with puppets. She worked really hard and did a great job. We had Emily's awards today at school, and the kid cleaned up. She was a top reader, finished 3rd in UIL competition for Ready Writing (creative writing), A's in every subject throughout the year, and was Commended Performance for Reading (missed 0 questions) and Math (only missed 2 questions). We are trying to get used to Em being a 4th grader now.
Erin - We have her kindergarten graduation next week. Erin received a star medal for doing so well with her reading. Erin and Dad went on her class field trip to the zoo. It was a little warm, but we had a great time. One of Erin's favorites at the zoo were the glowing jellyfish. They were small and fun to watch swim. Erin has had a great year at school as well.
Elizabeth - She has had an incredible year. Elizabeth competed in a number of UIL events (spelling, number sense, and math), winning 3rd place overall in math. E recieved the Johns Hopkins Scholar award for math. She competed in UIL band (solo and ensemble). Her ensemble group did well and received 2's for their performance. For her solo, she received the highest marks given (1's) and received a 1st place ribbon and medal. She has tried out for Jazz and Symphonic bands - we will know next week if she made either one. E loves the clarinet, but is considering the sax for Jazz band. Elizabeth also received Commended Performance for her scores on the Reading and Math TAKS tests.
Next week ends our school year. Can't believe how fast it has gone by. Stay tuned for more next week...
