In Kindergarten, they have to be able to tell a story (that has a beginning, middle, and end - which I thought all stories had), in front of their class, with visual aids, and they can't read it. Matthew got to tell his story yesterday and I was lucky enough to be able to go and watch him. And I must say he did a FABULOUS job! He remembered the whole story and spoke loud enough so everyone could hear. He didn't do a great job of holding the pictures for his class to see (as his teacher pointed out), but otherwise, he did a great job! Way to go Matthew!
Here is the story he told. It is called, The Snowball.
I saw a snowball on a hill.
It rolled along and picked up Bill.
It rolled along with Bill inside.
It rolled along and picked up Clyde.
What a ride!
I saw a snowball with four feet.
It rolled along and picked up Pete.
It rolled him up as quick as that.
It rolled along and picked up Pat,
and her hat!
I saw a snowball roll past Lee.
It rolled along and picked up ME!
It rolled, it bounced, it dipped, it dashed.
It rolled along until it smashed!
The end.

I can't believe how cute and grown up he is! I have to get out to Utah and see you guys - Matthew is still 3 in my head.
Tell him he did a great job and give him hugs and kisses from me! Love the story he told.
Cute, Cute! I agree with Amy, Matthew is still too little in my mind to actually be doing an assignment like that in school!
What a grown up little boy! Too cute!! Love the excitement!!
