Noelle’s school is doing something really cool this year.  They’ve divided the entire school into colored houses.  Each house has a character quality, and they are supposed to focus on that word and make their school a better place by living out their word.  Noelle is a part of the yellow house and their word is “kindness.”  If someone sees you acting out your house word, your house gets a point.  They are doing it all year, so it will be neat to see how it all plays out.  Noelle loves the idea and is having a blast with it so far.  On house days, they wear their house color, so she’s been having fun getting creative with the color yellow.  They will be getting matching shirts soon. 

Just to update, Noelle is having a great year and is thriving!  She is so energetic and happy and loves going to school.  Her reading has shocked us, as has her spelling comprehension and memory.  It’s like it just clicked!  She’s rocking and rolling and having a blast at school!  I love seeing her bounce off the bus and as soon as she gets to me, she tells me all about her day.  And it’s all happy, the way it should be.  We are so thankful and are so proud of her for trying her best and embracing herself!  GO NOELLE!!!
