100 Days of School

This week was Ellie's 100 day of school. Her class celebrated with a party and each kid brought in a collection of 100 things. Ellie chose to make 100 paper cranes (thanks Marty for the idea). She actually only made one and assisted on a couple others. It was quite a task but it was fun and the end result spectacular. Ellie did thread them on a string and they are hanging in her teachers classroom for a while.

Ellie also recieved her 2nd Accelerated Reader diploma. It is a reading program her school does. They read books, take tests and earn points. As they accumulate points they move their "guy" to different colleges around the school. Once they have gone to all the colleges they earn a diploma. The principal came into Ellie's class and presented her with her 2nd diploma and a college pen. Her class also gave her 2 rounds of applause. Ellie was so excited. Now she is wondering what they do for the 3rd diploma! Keep up all the great reading Ellie!!!
