We've had a busy few days around here! Kari's first day of 1st grade went off without a hitch. Armed with a new backpack, familiarity with her school, and knowledge that she'd already know three kids in her classroom, she was ready to go. She wasn't as excited as this time last year, but I chalked it up to high expectations for her teacher. In her eyes, it was going to take a lot to live up to Mrs. Salmon.
It was rather a chilly morning for the middle of August in Indiana. Kari is proudly sporting her Stanford jacket with a sweater underneath.
Even though it was the first day and there were lots of parents, grandparents and siblings, the number of kids getting on the bus significantly increased from last year. It's going to be a busy bus stop this year!
Kari also got to see a number of other friends, neighbors and her cousin throughout the day which always makes the 1100 student school feel a bit smaller. Lunch is early this year, 11:30, and with no scheduled afternoon snack, I anticipate she's going to come home hungry each day. By the way, Kari came home fully endorsing her new teacher, Mrs. Younts.
Three days earlier we hosted a neighborhood back to school ice cream social for the
second time. It was a great way to gather the neighbors and visit while the kiddos ran around the yard hyped up on ice cream and mounds of toppings.
