I love this tradition with my babe. Last day of school-- we end the year biking to and from school together. It's a treasure. I literally held back tears the entire bike ride today, as we talked about the ups and downs of third grade. Ellie sure loved Mrs. Hunt as a teacher and I was so so grateful to have her voice and spirit leading Ellie and teaching Ellie this year. What a gift that was.
Ellie gained confidence this year. She learned how to stick up for herself and how to share how she feels when her feelings are hurt. She learned that her face can tell a thousand stories, and that she needs to take her time and listen/follow directions. Ellie played basketball for the first time ever and learned how to be aggressive on the court. She is realizing that good friends are hard to find, and the best way to keep good friends is to BE a good friend.
Ellie we are so proud of you today. We are proud of the strides you are making and who God is forming you into. We love you so much.
