First Day of School

Gabi's 1st Day of Kindergarten
Gabi started Kindergarten last Thursday. I was up with the baby most of the night, so Michael got up with Gabi at 6:30 to give me an extra half-hour of rest. Gabi selected her Notre Dame shirt for the first day; that's our daughter!

Last week during quiet time, Gabi and I cut out pictures of healthy foods from the circulars. We talked about food groups, and Gabi glued the pictures on a chart. In the mornings, Gabi helps pack her lunch, making sure there is at least one item from each food group. This has been a fun activity for her.

Bella was also very excited for Gabi's first day of Kindergarten, so she jumped in a picture in front of the school.


Kindergarten Orientation
The day before school started, we went to a Kindergarten Orientation, with popsicles on the playground (in the very humid heat).

Gabi met her new teacher, Ms. Meredith.

Check out Gabi's new classroom - with lockers!


PreK-3 Orientation
Last Friday, Bella had a popsicle party one the playground to meet her teacher and classmates. Bella is in Ms. Laura's class, just like Gabi was two years ago. We love Ms. Laura!

Bella also had a chance to explore her new classroom.


Bella's 1st Day of PreK-3
Today was Annabelle's first day at the big-kid school! What a big day! She has been so excited, and it was a very fun morning.

  1. What a fun time for Gabi and Bella to be starting school. You both are such big girls now. I can't wait to come see your new classrooms.
