I love my EG, she has so many different interests and I think that makes her so unique...she can be quite the girly girl but LOVES to play outside and get dirty.

Hershey School Musical

Emma's class put on a show the Hershey School Musical (Sam calls them Hamical) it was cute...she was in the nerd group and whatever kind of the same thing as the movies, there were jocks and skateboarders. Then they all got dressed up or had props as to what they want to be when they grow up (emma a ballerina) so it was like the movies but they personalized it and talked about what they learned this year and favorite memories. She is still shy at times and I was so pleased at how well she knew her lines and spoke out, her confidence had grown so much this year. She has a wonderful teacher too. We will miss Hershey Elementary next year!! so here is a sampling of the million pictures I took....

a little slide show was playing in the background...that is always my favorite part of these end of the year things.

all the kids were seated at a long table for autographs of the program. cute
