Warning! Proud Momma Boasting Ahead

I want to start by saying how much Emma has grown up this year. She is maturing right before my eyes and I love to see what she is becoming. She is the most amazing girl, teetering on becoming a young woman. She is thoughtful, kind, sweet and very intelligent. I have really enjoyed my time with her this year and it just keeps getting better.

She wrote a poem Tuesday in class and it blew me away. It describes her rock climb on Monday perfectly. 

The Rockwall Climb

By Emma 

There are rocks sticking out,

I am strapped in the harness.

I grab the first rock pulling myself up.

My foot, it slips, I yank, I grab, and I keep climbing.

I’m grunting, pulling, yanking and… look the button.

I reach and miss, again I will try.

I reach, I push, and go back down.

I am also proud to announce that she made the honor roll. Last trimester she had straight A's. Most of her scores were 98-100% but her reading grade was 91% due to a missed assignment. That A- kept her from the honor roll. (Boo! Hiss! Spat!) She was so disappointed and a little discouraged that she wasn't on it even with straight A's but she worked hard and turned in everything and got perfect marks. Way to go baby girl! Today she gets to attend the honor roll movie party. She was pretty dang excited about that. 

Thanks for letting my boast.
