On the last day of school, her class put on a reader's theater for the parents. Emily got to open the play by saying, "Welcome to our play, April to May!!" She got that part, her teacher said, because she has the most expressive reading voice in the class! That was also her award that her teacher gave her!
Their school also puts on a dance festival. This year they had a patriotic theme and the 1st grades did their dance to "Take your hat off when the flag goes by."
Emily also finished up her drama class. They performed "The Wonderful Witches of Oz" and Emily was a munchkin. They sure did a cute job and the play was pretty creative. At the end, they are all awarded with Oscars. 
(Here's Eden who caused us to MISS most of the play because she kept wanting to climb up on the stage!)
The 1st grade also had an author's tea. Grandma was able to attend with us. Emily had two finished books to read to us. One was a fiction story called, "Getting stuck" about her school friends. The other was a "nonficin, fichin" story called, "My Cat, Jesi." That book is hilarious. Here's the text. "My cat was nice, her name was Jesi. One night Jesi ran away. A big truck almost ran over my cat. The truck stopped. And kept the cat! The next day we started to cry. My mom said, No more Pets!! We said, "ok mom." We were mad because we wanted another cat."
Nice how that cat is memorialized and I'm the bad guy. :)
Great job in 1st grade Emily!!

Cute Emily! She is expressive in every way, her expressions and her voice and her body language! Glad she had a good First Grade year. That is so important. Of course, she is very smart. Thanks for the cute pictures of her.
