Graduation

Today was Ella's graduation ceremony. As I posted earlier, Ella earned her Yellow belt in Karate, today is the day she received it. Nana came with us to show support. We got there and she lined up with all the other "little dragons". The Demo team did a really neat demonstration, then each class did a little demo then the parents of the kids got to go up and tie their child's new belt on. Jon let me tie Ella's belt "because I did all the work to get her here" Then during the chaos, we got pictures with Ella's teachers. Ella was so so proud of herself. She worked really hard to pass the test and it showed. I am so proud of her myself! Now she is ready to start learning the moves to get her orange belt. We took pictures of Ella and her teachers, the first guy, that looks like a biker is Mr. Paul. He is a teaching assistant for Ella's class and she LOVES Mr. Paul. The second teacher is Ms. Ashley. She is a manager of the school and a great assistant/substitute teacher. Ella likes her because she is a girl. :) The third teacher is Mr. Daniel. He is her "real" teacher and he is AWESOME with kids. I think he just does such a wonderful job with her class. The last teacher picture is Mr. J. He owns the school and did Ella's intro classes. She thinks he is super nice and liked it when he subed for Mr. Daniel.
