Big School Debut

We have been very busy in August and September adjusting to our new school schedule.  Vi's school day is a little bit longer, but that hasn't seemed to bother this energy-filled gal.  The year started with the Backpack Blessings ceremony at our church.

Vi has settled right into her new classroom.  It is super cool, and there is a second level "home living" play area on top of this little reading nook.  Of course, we had to get a first day of school picture with Vi's new teacher.

We visited many schools in our area and luckily, it is clear that we made the right choice for Vi.  It is a little bit of a drive from our house, but has been worth the extra few minutes in the car.  She comes home singing a new song and telling us new "facts" each day.  We are thankful to have found her home for the year.

There are lots of opportunities for the little kids to get involved at school.  Vi has enjoyed collecting Box Tops for the big competition mainly because the class who turns in the most gets to have an ice cream party.

We hope that everyone has a great 2013-2014 academic year!
