It wasn't easy for her waking up at 6am every morning to be on the bus for 6:30am. It definitely wasn't easy for her to do her homework every day after school when she had already been in learning mode since the wee hours of the morning. But she did it. She powered through and she did it. And I'm SO proud of her!
She rocked the first grade and ended up receiving two certificates at the end of the year, one for the "Class Bookworm" for always having her nose in a book, and the other for "The Best Smile" because she always had a smile on her face! Those are some great awards to get if you ask me!
She is ready for a break but really excited to be moving into second grade, where she will now have her own table.
To a great first year during school in Burkina! Ready for summer!!!
Memories from the year....
Sydaleigh took djembé lessons, loved her swim lessons during p.e. the most, learned fractions and telling time, read well over 100 books, helped illustrate her classes big book, went on two field trips-one to the forest and the other to the artisnal village, received french lessons every day and now has a wonderful accent when speaking french, she has come so far in her spelling and math comprehension, her favorite times in class were when she got to do "choosing" and writing. She'd come home weekly with piles of paper stapled together for books she wanted to compile. And her favorite snack at the snack shack to get was FanMilk and FanChoco.
