We are so proud of Sofia. This week she was chosen to be the first "Star Student" in her class. She brought home a poster "All About Me!" for her to complete. It will be hung on the special class bulletin board for all to see.
The proudest part of this recognition as a parent is Sofia's reaction. She said, "I don't know why Mrs. Grabert chose me. I just do my work." And in response to completing the following statement on her poster, "I AM A STAR STUDENT BECAUSE....", Sofia wrote "God made me smart and pretty."
She has begun the new school year in second grade doing very well. Reading and spelling continue to be her strong subjects (reading at a level P and so far 100% on all her spelling tests). Math is a subject she struggles with but is actually working above grade level. Sofia is excited about science and social studies this year and loved the mapping project she did last week in geography.
We are so grateful Sofia enjoys school and loves to learn. And we are grateful for teachers who encourage and challenge her to keep doing better.
And who knows, someday Sofia may be a "Star Teacher"....at least that is what she wrote on her poster in response to what she wants to be when she grows up.
