Way to Go, Kennedy!

Kennedy's school had a writing contest last week to celebrate that they passed their goal of reading 50,000 books this year. They had to write a review of their favorite movie. Kennedy was so funny about it, she didn't really want to participate because she didn't think she would do a good job. I talked her into it and she wrote the cutest little review, with just a little spelling help from me.
(Isn't this adorable? She started in pen, and mad a mistake on her b in Chambers. She made me find white-out and fix it, stat. I love her handwriting right now. She tries so hard!)

Some local movie reviewers, Nate and Tony from the Standard Journal, came to their school on Tuesday and announced the winners. Kennedy was a top winner from the first grade! She was so excited! She won a DVD, and they put her review in the paper today.
Yes, almost everyday is a slow news day here :) Not a bad thing, really.

We are so proud of her! She is such a little smarty pants at school, and is reading so much! Her last report card said she was almost at a fourth-grade reading level. We are so thankful for her in our family, she is such a great big sister to Hudson, and is so much help to me. Love you so much, Kennedy! Way to go!

  1. How cute is that?!?!?! I love the line at the end where she tells you to watch it to find out what happens. Totally reminds me of watching Reading Rainbow as a kid!

    And fourth grade level?!?!?! Holy moly. Maybe she should join our book group. Good grief. She rocks! :)
