My little reader

I love the fact that Ethan loves to read. Sometimes, when everyone else is playing outside, he'll be sitting on the couch reading....for hours at a time. He read so much this last year that he was one of the 10 ten readers for his entire school. He earned a trophy and a 50 dollar savings bond! What a proud mommy moment!

Not only does he like to read, but he's a great speller. He made it into the final spelling bee. I forgot my camera so I don't have pictures but he did well. I am NOT a good speller so I was never invited to participate in the big spelling bee. It's a sore subject. Just kidding. I'm just happy to have spell check :-)

I'm proud of all the work that Ethan did in the 3rd grade. I think he's ready and excited about 4th grade next year. He can't wait!

That's exciting! The Dalton family definitely breeds readers. I remember your family library and being so impressed that your parents had a check-out system so that they could keep track of who had borrowed what books. Cool!
