There was an hour window for the “M” kids to go in and meet with their kindergarten teacher today. The teacher wanted to get a feel for what the children knew coming in to school on the first day. I thought I was suppose to stick around, but I was promptly told to drop her off and come back in an hour. Apparently the kids get shy with mom around and don’t want to answer questions. True, true.
Annabelle did great on all her tests – she knows her letters, numbers, colors, shapes and almost half of her site words. She’s in very good shape for this year and ready to learn lots more!
Since I missed Back to School Night, Annabelle was eager to give me a tour of the school.
She wrote her name on the back of her “Coyote Cash” (they get these for being good listeners and helpers and she got her first today!)
She put her name on the Bus pick up list. This is going to be a tough one for me, but she is so, so excited to ride the bus.
The library – fully equipped with computers and IPADs. What the heck? I think we had two apple computers for our entire school when we were in elementary. I guess that just shows my age.

I’m so proud of this girl and I told her I would take her anywhere — ANYWHERE for lunch. She chose McDonalds – ouch!
What 1st day of school would be complete without beautiful nails. She chose a sparkly purple because “her teacher would really, really like this color”.
And let’s not forget a beautiful new hair style.
Last stop: the Bus Depot. We signed up for her bus pass and she is ready to roll tomorrow!
