Sophie, it has been so fun watching you learn all kinds of new things this year. Early in your fifth year, you began tying your shoes on your own. We had to convince you that you didn't need multiple double knots to keep your shoes on. You also starting running this year. You ran a 1mile fun run and two 5K's. As a Kindergartner in your Montessori class, you helped orient incoming students and even teach some lessons.
You had some amazing trips this year to places like Montana, Virginia Beach, and Alaska.
For your birthday, we turned our house into a balloon paradise. You wanted a balloon party, so we had balloons everyone, made balloon animals and toys, played balloon games, and ate balloon cupcakes.
And at school, you participated in the Montessori birthday celebration one last time. Ms. Dasbach read the book "On the day you were born", then you picked a globe and walked it around the lit candle that represents the sun six times while the class sang the birthday song one time for each year as you walked in slow circles around the sun candle. Then you blew the candle out. I will miss this celebration.
Happy sixth birthday Sophie!!! We love you so much.
Love,Mommy
