Twas the Night Before First Grade

This year is going to be much different from last year. She is used to spending her class day coloring, reading/looking at books, playing in centers, playing outside, etc. She learned a lot last year, but it was a fun year full of special activities just for the kindergartners. I have been told that first grade is the hardest year of elementary school. She will enter with some reading skills and end the year able to read chapter books, hopefully. I know she can do it. She is incredibly bright and I am not just saying that because I am her Mom ;) She needs to find her focus and have a teacher that allows her to be "Piper" but is also able to guide her and force her to follow through. I am excited for her and all that this year will hold for her.

Her lunch is packed and waiting in the fridge. She requested PB&J and vitamin water :) I put one of my special brownies in there as a special treat. Say a little prayer for our little girl. We are so proud of her and excited to see her grow up into this girl full of spirit and grace. She has a greatness in her that is so exciting to see come to the surface.

Final day of Summer fun
