Ellie's 1st grade

Ellie just finished first grade.  She loved it.  She decided at the beginning of this year that she wanted to be called Elisabeth at school, so she had the teacher and all of the kids call her Elisabeth.  There was even another Elisabeth in her class, so she was known as Elisabeth F. I just think of her as Ellie, so when we were at the school and the teachers and friends called her Elisabeth, it always took me a second to realize it was my daughter they were talking about. 

 

In May, they had a class play.  It was all about bugs.  Ellie was a firefly, and they had a special dance they did on the stage.

She did well in school, she got straight A's and E's all year.  Frankly, I think she might have been a little bored in her class, but her teacher did try really hard to challenge her.

This was Ellie's favorite friend in her class, Joey.  She found that she often played at her grandma's house around the corner, so she went over there to play a lot this year.  It was nice to have a friend who lived so close.

It was great year, I am hopeful she will have another great year next year!
