End of kindergarten

K had an awards assembly today and was awarded an achievement award in reading. She read 25 books that were approved as part of the reading course for schools in Oklahoma. We are so proud of her accomplishments this year. She is growing up so fast it seems. This year she has accomplished so much and we have seen her change drastically. She started kindergarten being able to read very beginner books and now she reads very well. She has learned her address and if anyone knows the addresses in our town that is no small feat. She learned our phone number and then we changed our phone number and she learned the new phone number. She has matured and is so sweet. She thinks of her brother every day at school. They have snacks at school and she comes home with a portion of her school snack for her brother (even if it is a single pretzel or a piece of cereal!) Every single week of this school year she has gotten to go to the treasure box for having good character. K's handwriting is beautiful and she draws as well as children much older. We are very proud of our precious girl. She is so beautiful inside and out and I love to watch her eyes light up when she learns and when she is interested in something. As Mema said, "K is enthusiastic and gets so excited" about things. I wish I could bottle all the energy and love K has.
