THIS IS HOW I KNOW BRIANNA WATCHES TOO MUCH SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!

SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER!

Yesterday, they took the Kindergartners to meet their 1st grade teacher and the other kids that will be joining them in their new class. Brianna was excited to meet Mrs. Hardy and she is super excited to have Michael and Christian in the class with her.
Today was Brianna's last day of school. I personally can not believe its over. Although I was apprehensive at first(sending your child into such a big place, with new people, to be dependent upon herself is a BIG thing for a parent), I must say this school year went better than I could have ever anticipated. I appreciate everything Mrs. Danner has done for Brianna. She recognized Brianna as a Terrific Kid and always commented about how sharp and smart Brianna is. Mrs. Steading, the assistant, helped Brianna discover her inner artist. She would come home almost every day with a picture that she had drawn at Mrs. Steading's table. But I must say that one of my favorite things Mrs. Steading taught Brianna was this: "You get what you get, and you don't pitch a fit!" LOVE IT!

I asked Brianna if she was sad to leave her teachers. She said no. I think she's ready for summer break. I know that I am!

AWARDS DAY

Brianna received her Kindergarten Awards today. She received the following

Perfect Attendance Ribbon for the last 9 weeks

Governor's Reading Honor Roll Certificate

March of Dimes Reading Champion Certificate and Medal

Awesome Artist Certificate and Medal

Kindergarten Certificate



We are so very proud of our little girl. We are especially proud of her for her Awesome Artist recognition, as it is awarded to only 1 child in each class. Here are some pictures that we took.

LAST GIRL SCOUT MEETING

We had our last Scout meeting on Saturday. We ended the year with a tea party and a trip to Gatti Town. The girls dressed up for the party and were treated to a fancy table with real China cups and saucers, mini cupcakes, and homemade cake squares(I don't EVER want to make those again!) After the meeting, the Troop went to Gatti Town. This was their reward for the cookie sale earlier this year.
As I look back on this year as a Girl Scout Troop Leader, I am very proud. I started this year a bit apprehensive and slightly confused. However, I must say that somehow I pulled it all together. I feel confident that the girls had fun and learned what it means to be a Girl Scout. I hope they enjoyed it as much as I did.
