First Day of School

Here is Eve at her first real day of school. Words can not express how excited Eve was to finally be in school. She was excited to be able to buy new shoes when the girls were buying new shoes, and even though she didn't really need any, we bought her this new school outfit for her first. day. A few days into school I realized I should have been more clear when we bought it that her "new school outfit" was not the ONLY outfit she could wear to school. It certainly was the only one she wanted to wear to school. I washed that skirt a lot in September.

Eve's only complaint about preschool is that it is not long enough and it is not every day. I have a feeling that she will LOVE kindergarten next year.
Alice was excited to have her best friend in her class again and she got the grade 4 teacher she was hoping for, so she was really happy the first day. Her teacher has been amazing, and Alice has continued to love school and is getting more and more excited about French. She is thinking she might continue with it next year ( when she goes to middle school). We will see.

Jackie is in a megaclass with 2 teachers and 36 kids. She was disappointed at first, but then realized that she would get to have more of her friends in the class. So things are going well. She still misses her teacher from last year though. Mme Andrea was awesome. Her readingin English and French is coming along like magic, and by the end of September, she was finally used to getting up a 7:00. ( it took some time). Now she is happy most mornings, and we are in a nice routine.
