First of First

K started her first day of first grade today. She started at a new school this year from last year after our transfer request got approved. We are both so excited! This is a newer and better school with lots of advanced classes for reading and math. She is already reading at a third grade level so this will help her to continue improving in this area. She also knows three of the kids in her class already. One from church, one from preschool, and one from her soccer team. Here are a few pictures we took before school started.



When we got to school, we put all of her supplies in a sack with her name on them and then she found her seat. She was excited to see the workbook on her desk. It was one similar to the ones she did at her old school.

When she came home from school she was so excited to tell me all about how great her first day was. She said there are toys to play with when it is rainy outside. She gets to go to the library and check out books every week. She gets to have time each day to talk to her desk neighbors and get to know them.
She ate lunch today and thought it was so cool she could pick out whatever she wanted to eat. She chose macaroni, kidney beans, carrots, cucumbers, orange slices, and chocolate milk. She made a some new friends and likes this school much better than her old one. I think it's going to be a great year!
