First Day of First Grade

Today was Vi's first day of school. She is now in "grades" as she calls it and has been telling anyone that asks her if she is excited that "grades are boring". Despite what she said she was excited for her first day. Last Thursday we met her teacher. Her name is Mrs Asta, although for the first three weeks she will have Mrs Dodson because Mrs Asta had unexpected back surgery and will be out. If you recall from last year her teacher hurt her knee on the third day of school and was out for two weeks. Hopefully this isn't a trend. Although it is teaching her to be adaptable to change so I guess that is good.

Each year the school has a different "theme". Last year was Gecko Jones (after Indiana Jones with Gecko being their mascot). This year is Star Trek...Learn Long and Prosper and features teh Gecko with pointy ears. Hahahaa.

Hopefully this year is as good as last year. Mrs Asta has some big shoes to fill because Mrs Smith (her kinder teacher) was SOOO amazing. One thing I am sure of...some good stories to come!
