She absolutely loves Mrs. Power and I am pretty sure that Mrs. Power loves her too! She has had a great first week. She does have some real homework this year, which is very exciting to her. In fact she did all of her homework for the whole week on her first day of school. She might be a little bit like her Mommy! She loved doing the math homework, which again is just like Mommy. It was always my favorite subject too. In fact, she did all 4 worksheets the first day and begged to go ahead and do more the rest of the week. I didn't let her go further ahead because I want her to focus on what she is supposed to do for the week! Hopefully, she will always love homework this much, but I highly doubt that she will! She has spelling words this year and part of homework is to write them all 3x each. Who else remembers doing that in first grade? I know that I do, except we had to write ours 5x each. Don't ask me why I remember this kind of stuff but I do. The other part of her homework is to read the little book that is sent home that goes with the spelling words for the week. She has to read and practice her spelling words every night. They even sent home a copy of the spelling words for the refrigerator and car. The spelling test are every Friday. Yes, today is her first real TEST! Believe it or not she was so excited about it and also a little nervous. I told her not to be nervous, she is going to pass with flying colors because she has really worked hard this week! I can't wait to pick her up and see how it went! I am pretty sure she will get a big 100!!!
She will also have Seniors this year. I really love that GWA does this, it is such a great idea. Hayden actually has 2 Seniors and both are girls. They will give Hayden little gifts on holidays and at Christmas time they will make her a little Christmas tree and decorate it with all the things that she likes. Then they will give it to her at the Christmas Program. I am so excited about this too! It is a very big deal and they all love it. Every one should come watch this program at least one time! Hayden will also be able to give her Seniors some gifts too.
First Grade is all new and will have lots of "firsts" for Hayden. She is truly going to have the most amazing year!
Dear Hayden,
We are so proud of you! You are such a beautiful, smart, angelic, independent and amazing little girl! You are going to have so many accomplishments this year. You are a 1st Grader now and that means you are pretty grown in your eyes! In our eyes, you are still our blue eyed baby girl. You are growing up so fast and you always make us the proudest Mommy and Daddy in the world. We are so lucky that we got to be your parents. Reach high and shine bright, shining star! We love you to the moon and back sweet little first grader!
We love you,
Mommy and Daddy
