May 25: the last day of school. Olive said, "How is it May already? It feels like we just started." Exactly. Once again she had an amazing year and was sad to leave her teacher. She liked her first grade teacher even more than her kindergarten, if that is possible! She wrote her daily notes and once she even tried to give her $20 as part of present! Olive won a reading growth award at the 3rd quarter assembly and again at the 4th quarter assembly. It was amazing to watch her reading take off in 1st grade, just like Hannah's did in 2nd grade. Olive also won the SOAR award for citizenship. I was afraid Hannah might be a little upset to see Olive on stage with 2 awards when she didn't get any this time (even though Hannah already won the SOAR award in the 3rd quarter, so she couldn't win again). She wasn't. She was smiling and clapping and being the best cheerleader ever for her sister. Hannah is such an amazing big sister. I couldn't take a picture because I was also on stage as a substitute teacher, so a friend gave me these pics.
Olive's last day outfit is a long pink skirt under a short pink dress. She definitely has her own style.
These two sets of sisters have become the best of friends. Hannah and Rachael have been in kindergarten, 2nd grade, and 3rd grade together. Samantha is a year older than Olive, but they hang out all the time at soccer games and girl scout meetings. I'm so happy my girls have such sweet and kind friends to grow up with.
