She's a Second Grader!

Where does the time go? It seems like yesterday that Ariana was a 1st grader in Mrs. Yule's class improving her reading or in Kindgergarten with Miss Fisher learning how to sound out letters. And preschool wasn't that long ago either... learning shapes and colors at La Petite Academy, building on what she learned when was going to the Montessori Preschool in Sugarhouse. Now she's a second grader...learning to multiply, divide and structure sentences!



As her mother, I am very proud of who Ariana is. She is kind and thoughtful of those around her and is quick to help someone in need or defend someone in trouble. She is often shy, but is also confident. She is not afraid to ask questions about things she is not sure about regarding both facts and situations. Even more important, she is not afraid to ask more questions if she is not sure about the first answer she receives. She has a quick, bright mind, and an amazing memory! Reading comes naturally to her and she is also very good at writing. She likes to write in journals or diaries and loves to send and receive emails. Her favorite thing to do at school, (besides eating lunch or playing at recess), is doing math. At home she likes to practice math by playing Yatzee or pretend school. Ariana is respectful to those around her and is a really good listener. She understands the difference between right and wrong and is very intent on making what she knows to be the right choices. Yes, I am VERY proud of who Ariana is.
