1st Day of Kindergarten

Miss Ella...wow, your off to kindergarten! You could not have been more excited!! I was up at 6:30 to get myself and Ainsley ready, and at 6:50 I can hear Ella singing away in her room. She has to stay in her room until 7, but at 7:00 on the dot she came bounding out of her room fully dressed exclaiming "I"m ready!"

Sweet sisters!

Aubrey was so excited for Ella! Grandpa Rick had given the girls money for a new outfit and Ella was going to wear her's on the 1st day of school. Since all the girls had matching outfits, Ella and Aubrey insisted that they all wear their "1st day of school" outfits. I'll admit that it did make for cute pictures ;-)Thanks Grandpa!!

Indian Hills Elementary School, September 7, 2012

Ella is loving every minute of this! She has found her name tag and is ready to go.

Kindergarten is extra special when you get to be in the same class as your cousin! Quin and Ella.

Also in Ella's class is Lucy, a friend from preschool last year. Two girls from our neighborhood are in Ella's class too! I was so happy that she was able to start school with some friends. She is super social so its not like she would have had a disadvantage had she not known anyone ;-)

Bye sister!!

When Ella was done with school, she was so excited about her 1st day. However, when I asked her what she did at school she told me, "Well....1st we did

(She recited the schedule that was written on the board in her classroom! She didn't say "I read a book for choice time," it was just choice time.)

Today was day 5 of school, she informs us every day as to how many days she has been going to school. She still loves it! This week she was OVER THE MOON to find out her school has a library where she can borrow books! Yesterday she had her 1st music class. And today was P.E. The best part about school, Ella gets to play on the playground on all the inside days of the week now! Once you look at a calendar that will make perfect sense ;-)
