Martin Reading Fair 2011

Ellie worked so hard on her Reading Fair storyboard.   It was an optional project at school, but she really wanted to do it.  Ellie loves to read and she put so much thought into choosing a book, picking out her supplies and designing the board.   We talked about the requirements and she thoughtfully came up with what she wanted to write in each section.   She did all the writing and cutting herself.  We were so impressed with her determination to complete such a large project and she did a beautiful job!

The Scaredy Squirrel books are adorable and full of such fun drawings and details. 

And here it is!!  Scaredy Squirrel at the Beach! 

How cute is this squirrel?!

Ellie's passport!

All the hard work paid off!!  Ellie took 3rd place out of the entire first grade!!  She is beyond thrilled with her accomplishment!  Hooray Ellie!!! 
Tonight, we got to see her story board on display in the school cafeteria.  She was so proud of herself -- and we are very proud of her!!

We let Ellie choose where she wanted to celebrate and she selected Fox's Pizza.  YUM!!!
