The night before was a little rough in our house. Kylie was really nervous and scared about not knowing anyone and if she would make any friends. Poor thing! :(
We eventually convinced her it will be ok and got her to go to sleep. I don't think it helped either though that she knew Mike was leaving in the morning for a detail. :(
She got up early, obviously still excited about the concept of first grade, got dressed, did her hair, ate some breakfast.
She was very determined that her daddy was going to take a picture of her on the first day, so we took a couple quick shots inside the house before he had to leave for work.
A picture that Mike took for her.
And a group shot before daddy had to leave.
Once she finished breakfast, I took pictures out front.
Massive amounts of pictures. :)
Sidney was still inside and when she realized she couldn't find us she started bawling her eyes out thinking we had left. (despite being told that we'd be on the front steps) poor thing was so sad. :(
After pictures we headed to school. The kids play outside until the bell rings and then each class has a designated line outside one of the doors that is for their class to line up on. Then their teacher comes out and brings them inside. After school, their teacher brings them back out to that line. The kids aren't allowed to leave the line until their teacher has gone through the line to them and asked if they see their ride. The kids need to point out their ride and then they are allowed to leave. They are pretty serious about kids going with the right people.
This is the first school I've encountered too with a buzzer system. You have to buzz and explain what you are doing there before they let you in the school. Not used to it, but kinda nice.
Anywho....Pictures!
This is what she wore the night before to her meet and greet at school.
She got to go meet her teacher, drop off her supplies, find her desk and find her locker.
It was nice and I think that helped ease a couple of her fears.
Poor Sidney, she was trying to smile through her tears. :)
Waiting outside by the playground
Poor thing brought up the end of the line because we almost didn't
find her line. We didn't realize it would be on the back side of the school! :)
School has been going well so far. She seems to be liking it and has made a few friends. :)
They have already started homework and she has a few minutes of math homework every night. It is going well.
Every other Friday they have early release. I don't know why, but they do. So she gets out at 1:30 instead of 3:15. That is another weird thing here, but I guess we'll figure it out. :)
She starts soccer and ballet in September. Ballet is every week through the middle of May and soccer is just for September. It will start up again in the spring and they will play in April and May.
So things should get much busier next month! Looking forward to things to keep us busy!
