First Grade!

 Here's my big first-grader. Bree may only be six, but she has a strong sense of fashion.

 

I'm hoping that enthusiasm will translate over into her schoolwork. And I'm hoping she'll go easy on her teacher, who is overworked as it is. Four to five hours of school per day, most of which is active instruction/learning time, is quite a bit more than last year's easy kindergarten curriculum. And we've switched to K12, which is much more involved. That will mean that my kid will be learning a lot more. And I'll be much more tired at the end of the day. But I have an adorable student, so that helps.

She is quite smart. And her level of concentration can be measured by how far her tongue is sticking out.

Here's her finished project: her first written assignment to be submitted to her online teacher.

Here's to what I'm hoping will be a great school year!
