very proud!

Emily came home from school yesterday with a huge smile on her face. She said she had 2 good things happen to her. First she was happy to find the note I left in her luch bag telling her that I loved her. Right after she read that the teacher handed her a note for us. The note said that she was being nominated for student of the week at her school. Her teacher nominated her for her hard work and that she is always willing to try!! She was so proud of her self and we are very proud of her as well. Many of you know how much she struggled last year so this is a nice change in pace. I can't remember a day she came home last year with a smile or in a good mood. We had a stressful year last year. This year is going much better. She is even going to a workshop at lunch (she went all on her own) to help with her organization skills.
Her name gets put in a ballot box now and once a week they pick a name out to be the student o the week. Once your name goes in it will not come back out until you are picked. She can't wait for her turn to be that student!!!
Good job Emily!!
