"Game on, Ethan!"

I just returned home from walking Emily to school at 7:57AM when I received a phone call at 8:00AM from Emily's teacher who said that Emily is going to be receiving an award at Morning Assembly. So I walked back up to school for the 8:20AM assembly. When Emily's name got announced, she was so excited! And she was surprised to see me there with my camera and video camera!!! :)

Emily got a Reading Counts trophy for 2175 reading counts points. She said her classmate Ethan said, "game on!" Ethan has 2000+ points too and said he doesn't want to be beaten by a girl! I found that to be quite amusing!

So today she received 3 ribbons, a trophy, and also lunch with the principal. How special and a fun Monday it was for Emily! Great job, sweets! You make your mommy and daddy super duper proud!!!

3rd Grade Field Trip to Hertiage Hill Historical Park

The 3rd grade Miss Yoshida and Mrs Harlow's class went on a field trip to Heritage Hill Historical Park. The other 2 classes will be going on Friday. Here are some pictures and video to capture this special day. This may be my last field trip volunteering as Emily has indicated that she would like to be more independent and not have her mommy go with her on these trips. Hmm--- should I be sad or upset? I'll just blow that comment off for now!

Emily got called to write the word she spelled on the slate on the chalkboard. Because the kids these days do not use a chalk or a chalkboard it was hard for the kids to write the words big and straight on the board. But it was a fun experience for Emily.

This is just a super short video of a playground game the kids played back in the days. It was harder than it looked.

Emily's 3rd Grade School Play - Emperor's New Clothes

Emily had her 3rd grade school play on Friday, November 19, 2010. Emily was one of the three narrators for the play. Here is a condensed clip of the play. Hope you enjoy it. Oh the microphone was not working; so the narrators had to eject their voices loudly. We are proud of our little girl!


** Emily is holding onto the rail because she said standing on the edge of the stage made her nervous and she felt like she would fall down. So she's holding onto the rail **

Here are some pictures from the play as well.
