First day of first grade!

Piper's back in action!  She had a great first day of school today.  She has lots of friends from last year in her new class and really likes her teacher so far.  Her best friend Sadie isn't in her class, but they have come up with a plan to meet by the monkey bars at recess.  And her buddy Evie, with whom she did all of her pull out time last year, is in her class this year.  Those two are very well matched, so I know they'll love learning together.  She also has a nice boy Mehdi in her class - she told me yesterday that she really like him, and said he 'knows everything!'.  (For kindergarten when they had to draw a life-sized portrait of themselves, Mehdi was in a white jacket with a stethescope around his neck, so he's probably pretty well connected to a knowledge stream.)

She came home all smiles today, so we're all excited for her year to come!
