School News

Abbie has been having a really great time at school.  It is a busy schedule and she is tired at the end of the day, but we have seen an incredible improvement in her mood since she started JK.  She wakes up happy every morning, comes home happy, and is just more fun to be around.  It seems like she is really thriving with the additional structure.

Last week they had their first library class and were allowed to check out a book to bring home.  Abbie chose Traction Man Meets Turbodog and we read it every night until she returned it yesterday.  The book that she has checked out this week is Cinderella.  Nothing better than a princess story, you know.

The City Ballet offers ballet classes after school on Friday afternoons, so we signed Abbie up.  She is really excited about it.  Tomorrow is her first class and she has been thinking about it all week.  Last weekend we went and got her set up with her leotard, tights, and slippers.  She tried them on and I think she looks great! 

Tomorrow is the first dress down day of the year, which means no uniforms.  Also, it is the first BBQ of the year.  They do a BBQ for lunch approximately once a month and the families are invited to come eat with the kids.  Chad and I are looking forward to checking it out.  The food that this place serves is really impressive.
