At the end of the school year, M brought home an amazing writing journal that her teacher put together. It's a beautiful white book with photos of the kids in it and a lot of her work. I will share some of her work over the next few weeks.

Meanwhile, here's what it says on the cover:

Makes people happy when taking about funny stories involving Alexa.

Alexa is my awesome twin sister.

Doing math, percentages and fractions interests me.

Efficient when it comes to back-massaging my Dad's back after he goes for a run.

Lover of ditalini pasta and apple juice because it tastes good.

Energetic when I eat Gu because it has caffeine.

I love my wonderful nanny, Imogene.

Nathanel is one of my best friends (and my baby brother).

Excellent at math and I'm not meaning to brag.

 

Full of joy when I perform at the Kennedy Center.

Eats almost nothing because I am really picky with food.

Loves ballet and baseball because I enjoy running and dancing.

Dancing is one of my favorite things to do when I'm alone.

Mom and Dad are the best parents ever and it's not just because they are pushovers.

Allie, a Basenji, and Lucky, a Beagle are the best dogs ever. (In the world!)

Never, ever, will I let a chance go by to hold my baby brother, Nathaniel.

 Here is her Diamante (note the shape):

Ballet

graceful, beautiful

dancing, pointing, stretching,

hair buns, fur, leather gloves, summer

running, sliding, hitting

dirty, messy

baseball
