First Days of School

This week has started a new chapter for Grace! On Wednesday, she started four year old pre-K. She is now at the school that we plan for her to be in through high school, and pre-K follows the same schedule as the rest of the school. She goes five days a week, from 8 until 3.

Monday was Open House.

This is the door to Grace's classroom. The theme is "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, Look Who's in Our Room." The children's names are all written on the hanging coconuts. They have been using this rhyme all week to learn each other's names.

Grace and Mrs.W. She's great!!

The Playground!! Grace learned the word "recess" this week!

Ready for her first day!! She has on the plaid shorts because Wednesday is her P.E. day. She was nervous, but excited too. There were no tears!!

I took this picture when I got home from dropping her off. We weren't used to leaving the house at 7:30, and Grace isn't used to having to rush through breakfast. Poor girl ate faster on day 2!!

After an AWESOME first day of school!! Watermelon ice cream with gummi bears mixed in... YUM!! ;)

Day 2, in her jumper, and showing off her backpack. It has painted ponies on it. Don't call them horses... she'll correct you!

My Sweet Girl :)

At school, the "school bricks" shot. She's 17 bricks tall, 18 with the bow!

Grace is loving school!! She's made some new friends, and adores her teachers. She comes home from school and draws pictures to bring them the next day! On Friday, she got the "Great Rester" award. Her teacher told her the as soon as she turned around Grace was already asleep. I'm a little surprised, since Grace stopped napping over a year ago. Big girl school can really wear a girl out!
