Class Schedule
The girl jumped on that bus like a pro first day. She was the second person picked up and I did see that she sat down with the other person on the bus. After the fact I learned it was a Kindergarten girl -- doesn't that warm your heart ? I'm so happy she sat down with someone who could have been pretty nervous right then. I know if Avery came home LAST year and told me someone sat w/ her first day I would have been so grateful to that kid. Today they adjusted the bus route a bit so there were a few other kids already on the bus.
I've been warning her that she'll start learning harder stuff each year... well here's her schedule:
- Arrival
- Morning Announcements
- Morning Meeting
- Phonics
- Reading
- Spelling
- Lunch at 11
- Handwriting
- Recess
- Bible
- Math
- Dismissal
On Mondays they also have a Library session, Tuesdays a Gym session, Wednesdays an Art session, Fridays both a Music Session and Chapel.
I am oddly excited for spelling.

Buses and Birthdays
Two weeks for both. New bus number this year and she will be getting on a little earlier in the morning and getting off a little earlier in the afternoon.
The girl decided she wants a Halloween themed birthday. While I might get some odd looks from the bakery I guess I should go all in and get things in order for her to have a few friends here. The next two weeks will be a bit of chaos, but I guess she's worth it. 1st grade... 7 years old... here we come!

Keeping July Jumpin
We had our 5th of July shin-dig with our neighbors and the girl had a blast with her hood crew. So did I!
This week, while a few of those neighbors are leaving for vacations, the girl headed to VBS at her old pre-school's church. This is a half-day program, but she loves it, so we were in. To our pleasure several of her old friends were there, so she got to see some old friends again. Next week she heads back to Camp Splash.
Today we took our first visit to the Pittsburgh Botanic Garden. Seriously, why haven't I been there before? What a treasure! It was hot (as it has been for most of this summer so far) so we were there less than 2 hours, but I will totally be back.
