It's time for Kindergarten!!!

How can it be that Madeline has now reached school age?  She has been so excited for this day.  In fact, on the day she turned 5 she asked, "Does this mean I get to go to Kindergarten tomorrow?"

Well, the long-awaited day finally arrived, and the school has done a great job of slowly integrating the Kinders.

The class list--they're going to have a great year!!

Open house day.  Madeline gets to see her classroom for the first time, meet her teacher and some of her classmates, and find out where she will sit!  She is so excited by all of it!

Aug 25 was the first day at the school.  The Kindergartener classes were each split into 3 groups and each group went to school for only an hour to allow for some focused time with just a few students and the teacher.  She was bummed she couldn't spend the whole day there, but at least she got a taste of school life!

The big day, Aug 26....all ready for her first full day of Kindergarten!!

They were given a project to bring in on their first day.  They were to decorate their name sign and bring it to school.  As Brian says, "She knocked it out of the park!"
