Cameron has been a very busy girl lately. She has already completed her first six weeks of school and is really loving it. She talks quite a bit about her new friends and what she gets to do in her art, science, computer & p.e. classes. She gets a new book from the library every Thursday and has come home with some pretty interesting picks. Twice already she has been the all-star in p.e. class! She says it is for paying attention, listening and following directions. There is a career technology center behind her school and they have new computer software programs they are testing. Cameron's teacher nominated her to be one of the 27 students from her school to go test it out and she told us she had a great time. Her biggest accomplishment yet is that she was the Elite Eagle for the first six weeks of school! We aren't too sure what exactly it means, but we do know she was the only one of about 90 kindergartners to receive it! We are beyond proud of her and love seeing how much she enjoys school.
This is the link to her picture in the school newsletter. I couldn't copy just the picture for some reason...

One a non-academic note, Cameron scored her first goal on Saturday!!! When it happened she didn't act as excited as I thought she would...I guess she was trying to be cool about it. But she was very excited about it after the game! Katie, Sue & Papa John got to witness her first goal and I know that was fun for her. Jeff had told Cameron that every time she scored a goal, she would get a dollar but since this was her first, she got a whopping five dollars! After the game, we all went to Cracker Barrel and she used her money to buy a new toy, of course :)
