a week of firsts for Hannah

first report card
It was great. She is where she should be or above in all areas. She is reading! I have taught kindergarten for the last three years and know that kids learn to read in kindergarten, but it is so different seeing my own kid do that. She is a good reader. She is already reading where she needs to be at the end of kindergarten. We are so proud of how well she is doing and how great her first report card was.

first awards
At Kelley we always have awards after report cards. The kids get bracelets for perfect attendance, citizenship, most improved and A or A/B Honor Roll in the upper grades. Hannah came home Wednesday with two bracelets. She had perfect attendance the first nine weeks of school and she was given most improved.

first RAH party
RAH stands for Read At Home. Kindergarten students are encouraged to read at least 40 books each nine weeks to qualify for the RAH party. She wanted to read 103 books but we only got about 90 read. Maybe we can read 100 or more this nine weeks. She said she had fun at the RAH party but did not give me a lot of details about it.
