First Grade!

I can't believe Maija is done with first grade! 
She had so much fun this year.  Her teacher, Mrs. Sorensen is amazing and we both loved her! Rumor has it, that after 40 years of teaching, she won't be there year-after-next to teach first grade to Brielle.  :-(  They put on a circus as their class play and Maija got to be an acrobat.  She had me convinced for WEEKS that she was going to be a lion tamer.  I'm concerned for the future if she can tell such intricate lies! 

Maija has improved in her reading by SO much this year.  She makes good friends and has proved just how sweet she is when kids pick on others and she takes a stand against it.  She loved first grade- but has been looking forward to summer for a LONG time!
