Kinder is going great. Alli loves school, gets good marks every day on her folder, is making new friends, and loves getting to buy her lunch. Her only complaints are that she is so tired after school and that she doesn't like having to be away from us so much. But, we're adjusting.
This was after meet the teacher night on the playground.
Making her own lunch the night before. This picture was actually her first homework assignment. She was to bring a pic of herself getting ready for school and they got to talk about their picture on the first day. That was also our last homework assignment other than nightly reading. She doesn't get homework which at first I wasn't sure about, but I think I'm okay with it. Makes our evenings nice. We'll see at the first parent conference if that will continue.
Breakfast of champions! She hasn't seen one that well-rounded since.
Out the door for her first day. She was so excited!
Proud daddy with ready with the video camera!
Learning the morning routine and her responsibilities with her backpack, lunch bag and daily folder.
At her seat and ready to learn! We noticed a brief look of apprehension after she sat down but it quickly faded as she started playing and talking to her table mates. She did great and so did I- no tears!! (there were plenty of those the week of registration- from mommy I mean)It's still so hard to believe that my baby girl is going to school- especially since my plan was always to keep her home and home school her, but I do feel like this is God's plan and He has brought me peace about that. For one, we discovered that Alli thrives in the classroom setting and is more open to lessons from a teacher than her parents. But, part of me thinks that maybe it was also to bring us out of our comfort zone and outside of the Christian bubble I live in. Maybe, just maybe we are supposed to share His love with someone who doesn't know Him. Excited to see what He has planned for us here!

Love all the pictures! Autumn doesn't have regular homework either- just the nightly reading like you said. I guess they like to ease us into all of this. :)
That's nice that she likes to buy her lunch, too. Autumn tried one time, on pizza day, and said it was too spicy and is not interested in buying again. I have noticed when I eat lunch with her that more kids bought than didn't, which was kind of surprising to me.
I didn't know you were seriously thinking of homeschooling!! No homeschooling here, I know I am not a teacher!! :o)
Glad everyone is adjusting to your new schedule. She looks so grown up!
So cute! I am glad she loves school. I wish she was in my kindergarten class this year.
