Back to school...

The girls are back in school and really enjoying it!  School here starts a bit later, both in the day and the time!  McKenna started 2nd grade on Tuesday, September 4th, and Adelyn started Kindergarten on Wednesday the 5th.  School here doesn't start until 9:20!!  Very different from my "be at school by 7:30 or earlier" schedule from last year!  And I have to admit, there have been a few mornings where we still seem to be running late, maybe because we don't get enough ready the night before!

Anyway, Kenna is in Mrs. Bulver's class, and it is a multi-age 2nd and 3rd grade classroom, so we are on a learning curve with this one and are interested to see how she does!  She was very excited on the first day - especially to ride the bus!  She woke me up early and was already dressed and wanted braids in her hair!  :)  From her American Girl 'McKenna' set these are her 'beautiful braids'...

Waiting at the bus stop!

 Our bus stop is the last in the neighborhood, so they literally have less than a 5 minute bus ride to school!  Our neighbors have a 5th grader and 2nd grader so the first day there were only 3 getting on the bus...

Wednesday:  Adelyn's first day of kindergarten!  

The girls ready to go and Jackson cheering them on!

5 at the bus stop now including Adelyn and our other neighbor's kindergartener!

Adelyn is in Mrs. Russo's class - Russo's Radiant Stars!

Here's a class picture from the second day - looks like a fun bunch!  :)

Quotes from the girls about what they like at school:

"I love making pictures at the art center and double recess days... magnetic stuff in the math center is cool too!"   --Adelyn

"Recess, library, and riding the bus." -- McKenna (wow... tough crowd for the teacher I guess!)
