Abby had her Award's Day this week. It was such a cute program. Abby got a Reading, Math, Chorus, Computer Lab and PE award. Honestly, I was most proud of that PE award. Abby always complains that she has a hard time keeping up with some of the other kids especially with anything involving running. She will get out on the driveway and run laps trying to increase her speed. Her teacher told me they usually choose the child who tries their hardest and puts forth their best effort. It makes me feel so good that she is working so hard and has such a good attitude about something that is a struggle for her. Ms. Pate told me that Abby works hard at everything she does at school. A very proud mommy moment! After they received their real awards Ms. Pate gave them all candy bar awards. Abby was given the Reese's Peanut Butter cup with white chocolate award. Next they all sang a little song together called "We're going to Third Grade" and each child had a line (written by the teachers) to sing about themselves. It was so sweet! They finished it off by joining hands and singing "Thank You for Being a Friend." I have to admit that I was a little teary eyed. Abby has had such a good year. I feel like she has grown up so much and come into her own. Ms. Pate also told me that she had seen so much growth in Abby this year. Abby was just so happy in her class this year. Ms. Pate just has such a wonderful way with those kids and she makes each and every one of them feel so loved! She doesn't just teach them academics but she really just teaches them about life. I feel so blessed that Abby was in her class and I keep begging her to keep teaching until Noah and Nathan get to second grade.
