First Days!


What a busy week! Madeline started first grade on Wednesday, I got my new sixth graders, and Sophie returned to preschool. Although busy, the week was a good one. It was a super drastic change from our leisurely summer, but I  actually enjoyed my early mornings and full days.

Madeline was soooo ready to go back to school. I surprised her with a new Scooby-Doo lunchbox (she loves that show and wants to be Daphne for Halloween) for her first day. Then Thusday she bought her lunch and lost her lunch money somewhere between her classroom and the cafeteria. Friday, she forgot to put her snack in the "snack basket" and didn't get a snack. I am hoping she'll become more organized this year . . . Well, one can hope . . .

At Madeline's school, the students line up and return to their previous classes on the first day of school. So, in the picture below, Madeline is in her Kindergarten class. After a short "circle time," her Kindergarten teacher walked the students to their new first grade classes.


Madeline was hoping for Ms. Woodward, and she got her! Yeah! Here her teacher is greeting her new students, and you can see Madeline already in her seat. One perk of failing your hearing test is you get preferential up front seating. :)

I'll bet Maddie is so excited to learn all those thinking maps!
