Isabel Has a Dream.....Like Martin Luther King, Jr.



(I'm having trouble getting the video to post here so I've placed it up at the top of this blog....I'll fix it later).
Isabel's Kindergarten class is doing very well with their reading and writing skills!! Imagine, Kindergartners doing these things!!!! Very cool. Their teacher, Mrs. Finan said that they were doing so well that they were able to write their own brief speech modeled after Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have A Dream" speech. She added that she usually does this with 1st graders, but the kids were so great with reading and writing that she thought they could do it...and they did. They ALL did very very well! My favorite was one of the boys saying "I have a dream that my mom and dad will give me more money."
If you were not able to hear Isabel's speech very well, here's what she said:
"I have a dream like Martin Luther King, Jr. I have a dream that all girls can have cats. I have a dream that I can have a lots of friends. I have a dream that I can be smart. I have a dream today!"
The kids were able to practice their public speaking skills!!!! Isabel seems to do well up on stage...he he......why was I surprised???????
Once again, she is posing for these photos.....I snap a couple real quick hoping people don't see all the posing!


She goes off to play with some of her friends....too cute!!!! There were a couple girls wearing princessy soft flowing dresses....but I told her she couldn't wear hers because it didn't have any sleeves! She threw a fit this morning but immediately got over it. BUT she made sure to point out the girls wearing princess dresses....saying "see....I could have weared mine!" I told her "You looked better in turquoise (the dress was baby blue)....because it's your color."....he he

Isabel and her friends playing with the screen right before they had to leave to go back to class.

Here is Isabel and her friend Esther who is a cute and sweet little girl.....she was one of the girls who wore a "princess dress". I suppose I could have done the turtleneck under the dress thing but I thought Isabel looked pretty KICK-ASS in her cute dress with black boots!


I had to snap a picture of the boy she likes.....Jaden.....blond hair, big blue eyes.....ha ha ha...he's adorable!
Well, hope you enjoyed the video and photos!!!!!! I'm gonna run and pick her up now!
