First Grade

My little first grader is LOVING school.

Although, it's only been 2 months, and she's already lost her coat 3 times. And yeah, we found it each time. And today she left her show and tell item at school. I super cute, brand new book, that we haven't written her name in yet. I just hope it is still there on Monday. These kinds of things drive me crazy!

Last week they had picture day. It was raining and Bree was dressed up, so I took her to school. Not to mention, that we were able to get Elle's 4 year old pics taken too. I'm so glad that they invited us to bring our pre-schoolers to school for pics too! Bree's teacher had nothing but amazing things to say about her. Mrs. Vellinga has never seen another student so confident, and apparently Bree looks just like the teachers 6 year old grand daughter. I guess they could be twins.

She loves to ride the bus! We've missed it a couple of times, and it broke her heart. So we really try to be on time in the mornings, so she doesn't miss the bus. And she's been having me pack her lunches everyday. She is afraid, that they won't have anything for school lunch that she likes. But then the other day she told me that on Fridays, she sees kids with chocolate milk, and other things that she likes. So she asked me if she could eat lunch on Fridays. Today was our first try. Last night she got out of bed, to tell me that she was crying, because she was afraid they wouldn't have anything she liked and then she would go hungary. She asked if I would pack her lunch anyway, so that if she didn't like school lunch, she could go get her back up lunch. I agreed. And when she got home today, she had such a great experience, that she has asked if she can eat school lunch everyday from now on. I'm really glad, because if it were me, I would get bored of the same old sandwich in my lunch everyday. Variety and hot food are good! And they've really tried to make school lunches healthy these days. I know she's going to love it!

The other day, we received some awesome hand me downs from her cousin Aleigha. Bree was so excited about the new clothes, that she wore 2 of the new shirts to school this week. I took some pictures of her, so we could show Aunt Jennifer! :)

I can't believe how well Bree is reading! She has a spelling test every week, and has gotten 100% each time. It's amazing to see her learning so much! So we are just loving 1st grade, and now if I can get her to bring all of her things home from school each day, I will love it even more! ha..ha..
