Everyhing I need to Know I Learned in First Grade

To say that Chatty is learning a lot this year is an understatement.  First they learned about volcanoes, then rocks and now the body - bones and muscles.  She got to ride the bus home on Friday afternoon and when she got off she was wearing this:

Nice work.  She even had her brain detailed on a headband

In other exciting news this week, Chatty lost another tooth!  Someone joked she was going to need dentures soon.

Chatty's soccer team had the week off but she was asked to sub on our sister team with girls a year older than her.  She did awesome - she held her own and almost scored a goal!  She loves playing with the older girls.  It helps that she is as tall as most of them.

 She did a great job dribbling past the other team

Getting directions from Coach K (who is her regular coach too)

After the game we went the every one's favorite pizza place to cool off (it was over 100 degrees at game time)! 

Recap - First Day of First Grade

The results are in - Chatty loved First Grade!  Good thing!  She had great day and even came home with homework.  She has to read with a parent for 20 minutes each school night as part of her homework.  We did great for the first 15 minutes then it turned into a battle of the wills!  This should be interesting!  Here are a few more pictures from this morning.

You can see they both lost several teeth over summer

I know it is amazing - two posts in one day!  I am sure I will be back to my attempt at once a week starting next week!

First Day of First Grade

It is hard to believe but Chatty started 1st grade today.  She is growing up so fast - exciting and sad at the same time.  She was so excited for her first day.  One of her closest friends is in her class and a couple boys from her K class are in her class too (I think one of them is sweet on her).  She also got to ride the bus to school today and received some cash from the Tooth Fairy (she lost another tooth up top).  It was a great way to start out a new school year!

All ready for 1st Grade

Me and my baby!

Before we know it we will be sending her off to college!  Oh my!
