Hannah, showing off her new prizes.. The last two books of Harry Potter.
[parental boasting]
Hannah was the first person in the school to reach her pagemaster goal of 3000 pages. Almost 1000 of those were the small print in the HP books. Way to go Hannah! Interestingly enough, the second person to reach pagemaster was also in H’s class… And that is out of a school with over 700 kids in it. Also, she was the first person in her class to reach her AR points goal for the year. And finally, although trivial, she also won a quiz in the third grade answering who mark browns aardvark was (as Hannah said TOO easy- Arthur!)

I said to Kath.. “It seems Hannah is competitive” and she said “no way, she’s just her own person. She motivates herself”
In retrospect, she might be right. I would like that.
Not to leave Melinda out… She came home this week with a principles writing board certificate in her bag! That’s a big deal, and she never told us about it! I talked to the teacher, and she said that she was chosen for the kindergarten writing board. I’m not even sure what it was… I did not get to see the paper.
Today Hanmelrocks Cousin Camryn from Wisconsin came to visit! Kathis sister Wendy, her husband John, and son Christopher are in for thanksgiving.. We are thankful they are here! But I think they brought the cold with them.. Brrr its cold here!!! Anyway, I had some scrap copper to recycle, so the girls went on a recycling run.. They are smiling because they are each $6.20 cents richer than they were a few moments before..
