Yesterday was the first day of school and Ana started pre-kindergarten. This is a BIG deal because she is going to be at school EVERY DAY. Last year, in the 3’s class, Ana was in school only on Tuesday and Thursday. Traditionally the natural progression would have been to attend the 4’s class which would have been Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Based on the recommendation from her teachers, we made the decision to skip the 4’s class and go directly to Pre-K (5’s class). Ana could not be more excited about this.

We left extra time in the morning for the traditional first day of school pictures.

We arrived at school and Ana was able to walk in with her best friend, Lauren.

This year, instead of sitting anywhere she wants at a large table, Ana gets her very own desk! With her name on it and everything.

When they get to school in the morning they are asked to sign in by writing their name on the board.

Ana, Lulu, and Lauren were checking to see what their “job” would be this week. Ana was assigned to feed the fish!

Ana had a great first day. She is in a class of ten kids, five girls and five boys. She was very excited to see that several of her friends from the 3’s class were in her class this year. Today the 4’s class started school and she got to see the rest of her friends from last year on the playgroup at recess. All in all, she is off to a fabulous start and we cannot wait to see what is in store for Ana this school year!
