It was time to say good-bye to Cyrena's first grade year. She had a wonderful year and seemed to mature quite a bit. I had major guilt this school year with being pregnant and working around 20 hours a week with prepping and teaching 2 preschool classes. I did try to get in her classroom a few times but of course I would have liked to do more.
She had a wonderful teacher who was very supportive and sweet with her, especially with all that was going on before and after Evan's birth.
At her class awards ceremony Cyrena received 5 certificates! She was ecstatic. Her teacher handed out awards in groups so most of the kids got at least 3, it was cute. Cyrena's awards were:
-"Word Whiz" award for knowing over 600 high frequency words
-Outstanding classroom behavior award (along with 6 or 7 sweet friends)
-'Bookworm' award for reading 242 books throughout the school year (the most in the class!) I guess signing her reading log every night was worth her getting this award. :) David's comment was that he hasn't read that many books in his entire life!
-Excellence in Reading for reading above her grade level all year.
-Outstanding achievement in Math
She will miss the routine and rigor of school but I am glad to have her home for the summer!

What a cute girl! She is growing up and accomplishing a lot! They are experiencing and learning so much more than we did - it amazes me what they can do! I have never kept a record of how many books Ty has read but I am sure he and Cyrena would have a good competition.
I must admit, I stalk your blog. It's so cute!
242 books??? Incredible! Heavenly Father sure blessed her with a smart brain. :)
I bet you're glad to have her home for the summer. Not that Natalie's not helpful, but now you'll have two big helpers around.
Oh my gosh!!! That is so many books, my heart is so proud! She is so grown up. We just took Gracie to nursery for the first time and seeing her having "snack time" and a "lesson" almost made my heart burst into a million pieces, I can't imagine what it's like to see your little girl so grown up and mature! Miss you guys and see you this fall!!!!
