1st day of 1st grade

Katherine and Jennifer had a wonderful 1st day of 1st grade. They both wanted to wear a dress (Katherine insisted that she wear all pink).
We all got up on time and had breakfast. The girls wanted to leave for the bus stop at 7:00 am but that would have been just a little to long to wait for a bus that is not going to be there till 8:00 am.
Here are a few pictures from them in line for the bus and getting on.

Stephanie, Daniel, Christina and I had a fun day. We went to the park and played. When we got back our whole area was out of power for about 4 hours so lunch was yogurt and cereal bars but it was yummy. We went for a walk to see if we could find out why we had no power and found out that some City workers two blocks down and two blocks over accidentally cut the wire.

The girls did very well on their first day of first grade. No real homework this week. The Teacher said that will start next week. They did have some reading words sent home that the Teacher would like them to learn by sight rather than sounding them out. We practiced them and they already know quite a few of them by sight.

Here is a picture of them back home after their first day
