Happy School!

Maddie and Elise had a great first week of school. Maddie's bus was late on the first day so we drove her through road construction and ran with her to her room She was so worried about being late on the first day. Then Eric, Gus, and I brought Elise to Canyoncito Montessori. She is now in Ms. Brunner's Class (Maddie loved her) and Elise has been telling everyone lately.


Elise ran to the door and down the hall to get there quickly. She goes 3-4 days a week depending on my teaching schedule. She said she wants to go 5 days a week but I said that she could go everyday next year in Kindergarten. I want to spend one morning a week with her and our babysitter Sandy wants to walk with her too. She is in demand! :)

Elise was psyched that her cubby is the first one as you walk into the room.


Maddie had 1/2 days all week so we had lunch together and took it easy in the afternoons. She loves Mrs. DeVore. "She's nice and she doesn't yell!" Maddie really is just an elementary kid now and knows the ropes of Mountain Elementary School. She stops by her Kindergarten and 1st Grade teachers' rooms for hugs, she couldn't wait to get back on the playground, and she has a lot of buddies in her class. One friend and she thought they might be able to pass notes this year but their desks are too far apart. I heard them talking the other day at our house, "Maybe if we talk a lot to our neighbors we'll get moved from our desks and get put next to each other." They already are trying to work the system! This picture is of her pointing to that friend as she got settled in.
