Our 1st Grader

Hayden had her Open House today at school.  I can't believe that she is really a 1st Grader!  She is no longer in the little building on the hill, which makes me a little sad. She is growing up way to fast.  She got the teacher that we wanted.  I know you are all surprised right???  Her teacher is Mrs. Powers and I think that Hayden is going to have a wonderful year with her.  She seems excited about going back to school, but as I have mentioned in the past, she doesn't want to talk about things until she is good and ready.  So when Mimi and Aunt Linda asked her about Open House today, she didn't have much to say at all. 

She has lots of friends in her class from last year and a few new ones too.  She was very shy today, just like little Gracie the other day.  I guess it is better to have shy kids than wild ones.Right?  She did talk to Mrs. Powers today and she helped feed the fish in the classroom, but that was about it.  She really liked her desk, the past two years she sat at a table, this year it is her little desk but Mrs. Powers has them pushed together to look like a table.  She has books this year, or actually more like workbooks...she has a spelling workbook, phonics workbook, math workbook and one more that I can't remember the name of.  She was excited to see that she has a dry erase board, marker and eraser in her desk, she loves to play with mine at home. 

I am excited for all of the things she will learn this year.  Here's to a great school year for both of my baby girls!!!
