First day of Junior Kindergarten

Here is Abbie all dressed up and ready to go to school this morning.  She was pretty excited, but we had to wake her up earlier than she is used to this morning, so I suspect that she will be pretty exhausted tonight.

Here she is with her teacher, Mrs. Butler, who is really great - energetic, loving, well-educated, and totally fun.  She has been teaching since 1976 (before I was born) and has taught in the US, Japan and S. Korea, which is really cool.

Here are some of the kids just as the class was starting.  You can see Mrs. Butler, and her aide, Miss Ashton in the background.  There are 16 kids per class.  They have Spanish classes 5 days per week, P.E. twice a week, music class twice a week, and movement, technology, drama, and library classes each once a week.  We are definitely looking forward to seeing how much she will learn!
