Yes, this is a complete BRAG post! At Savannah's elem. school, they have a really cool way of helping the 3rd graders learn and remember their times tables, and they also prepare them for learning division with the same technique. It is called Finger-Popping. They do all kinds of rhyming and moving and singing to go through all the multiples. Anyway, when they are all through learning them, they have a competition. The kids are able to sign up for the events they want to be in, and Savannah signed up for the finger-popping event. When they announced that she was the first-place winner in 3rd grade, the teacher then announced that she ALSO had a faster time than any of the 4th AND 5th graders!! She had the fastest time in her WHOLE school! She worked SO hard, and we are REALLY proud of her!! It was such a surprise to her, and she was thrilled. Earlier that morning her teacher called me and informed me that she had won - but didn't give me all the details, just that I should be at the assembly later that afternoon. So, I called Jarrod at work and drove out to pick him up so he could be there, too. Savannah was thrilled! It was a really great day for her (and all of us where there)!! :)
