At Maggie's school they have a Spring and Fall Recitation. It is a time for each class to "show off" for the parents and fellow faculty what all they have been learning during that semester. This last Spring we were so proud of how well our Maggie did with her recitation. Her class sang 2 songs, counted by 5's and 10's, did a little rhyme about money/coins and then each child in the class had memorized a poem that their teacher had selected. They had to go to the microphone and quote their poem in front of the crowd. We could not have been prouder. Maggie did it perfectly and acted like she had nerves of steel. (She does not get that from her parents, both Todd and I do not like speaking in front of crowds.)
It was a very special moment for us to see how brave and strong Maggie is, even at age 5.
Maggie and her little class...
Her class and her sweet teachers, Mrs. Wellar and Mrs. Potter.
They look so little...
But acted so BIG!

And then the schools principal, Mrs. Henson awarded them with recognition of an honorable character (this is a big deal at Maggie's school). They have a strong push starting in Kinder for character development. They recognize the characteristics of honor, obedience, diligence, wisdom, kindness, self-control, orderliness, service, attentiveness, cooperation, initiative, honesty, forgiveness and responsibility. Maggie received the award for displaying kindness throughout the semester. EEEEK, my girl makes me so proud! Love her sweet little heart.
We are so blessed by Mags school, and continue to love the collaborative style of private school and homeschool.
