Katie's 1st Day of Kindergarten!

Can you believe that Katie is now in Kindergarten. Today was the first day and she loved it. The school had a assembly to start the day out. We then went to the classrooms. Katie was the only one to give her family a Good-bye hug and kiss in the hallway. The kids all went to their desk and the parents got to hear some info about the class. After a short talk we left the room. Katie gave us all hugs and kisses again, even the baby. She looked so grown-up.

The first picture is her teacher, Mrs. Stefanik and the second is the Assistant Teacher. I know it starts with a "V." I can't remember how to spell it:( They seem very friendly and involved with the kids.







Katie sits at a table with three other kids. They actually had school today. They went over the rules and exceptions. She told my mom that they learned about the bathroom. When she got in the car she wanted to tell me about the letters she learned. They counted, did letters, had outside time and other stuff that she couldn't remember. It was nice to see the look on her face.

I started a tradition last year, that on the first day of school we go out to lunch. Katie picked White Castles. Here she is eating her 1st Hamburger as a Kindergartner.

She will be going to school Monday thru Friday from 8:30 to 11:30. We also signed Maddie up for Preschool. She was very sad when we told her that only Katie was going to school. She is very excited. Her first day is tomorrow. She will go Tuesday and Thursday from 8:30 to 11:30. What will I do with 2 hours and some to myself for those two days.
