Yeah For Kindergarten!!

Kenna woke up so excited for Kindergarten. She couldn't wait to go. This is Kenna in her new pink, puffy shirt (as she calls it). She picked it out for her first day of school.



On our way to class we stopped to meet the principal, Mrs. Hanks. She always stands in front of the big clock on the wall to greet the kids. She had to have her chance to touch the soft pink shirt.



Kenna's teacher Miss Eldridge was there to greet her and to help her hang her backpack up.



Kenna sitting at her desk. She shares a table with five other kids. She was super excited to see her name and supply box. There was a paper waiting for her to color until class was to begin.



After dropping her off to class we went to the cafeteria for two reasons. One to put money on her lunch card (just in case she buys her lunch or I forget to give her something to drink she can purchase what she needs). UH-OH her first credit card. :)
Also to be at the tears and cheers party the PTO throws for all the kindergarten parents. At the door was this cute little gift they were handing out. I teared up a little reading it. I teared up one more time while Pierce and Charly were eating muffins and fresh fruit in the cafeteria.



I went to pick her up from school and the carpool lane was outrageous. I'm told that it will get better though. Mackenna was beaming and bubbly. She said that she had a great day. The things that she noted to me was:
I like my teacher.
I made one friend.
I got to play outside.
I went to art.
We had story time.
and I didn't even have to go to the Principal's office (I guess she knows this is where you go if you're bad).

Eric and I are so happy for Mackenna. We love her and always want the best for her. All we can report is that our first day was a success at school and at home. Charly did great and can't wait for her first day of preschool (more on that next week).
