First Day of School 2010

We all survived...

Celebrating Lillian

Lillian has had many accomplishments this week. She started with the completion of a 150 piece and a 100 piece puzzle.





Then, she finished her tennis lessons with the YMCA. She received a medal for her effort and learned several new skills to help her play tennis. I really noticed an improvement in the few weeks she practiced.

Last of all, she graduated from kindergarten Friday. Her class performed a piece about promising to read and then walked across stage to receive diplomas and have their tassels moved.

89er Day

The kindergarten classes in Guthrie celebrate 89er Days in grand style! They spend a day playing old games like stick horse races, sack races, cow chip throwing, and roping contests.


Lillian wore this dress borrowed from her teacher. I pinned it to fit better and gave it a flouncy look. She wore it all day and it survived! I think it might have been a little hot that day but she didn't complain. I guess that's how it would have felt to be a lady in 1889!

Sack racing in a dress went pretty well!

First Day of School

She loved Kindergarten! Lillian said Mrs. Parker was the "best teacher in the whole school!"

I think we're off to a great start!

Schoolwork

Our art gallery has been updated! From left to right: Brent's kite, Lillian's imitation of Brent's kite, Lucas's first art creation, Lillian traced and colored her own hands.

Lillian put in some extra study time this weekend. Pre-K has high standards!

First Day of School

She did it! Today was the big day and it all went well. To minimize the emotional upheaval for me, Brent took her this morning. She went right in despite a change in what we had prepared her for. Her teacher is Mrs. McMahan and she has one boy in her class who was with her at Kiddie Kollege.

Class of 2022

She really looks older than pre-K.

My first day of school happened today, too. Mine was uneventful except for several moments of anxiety when I thought of what Lillian was doing today. Now that the year is underway, posts to the blog will be sporadic at best. Once a week will be the goal; anything more will be a bonus.

School Supplies- *Gulp*

Preschool supplies are nothing compared to pre-K stuff! Look closely- you will see batteries, safety pins, and Zip-Loc bags. All of this is making me very curious. I'll be sure to update you through the year as these items are used.
Seriously, the big day is rapidly approaching. Lillian is excited; I'm anxious. I had to pause in the backpack aisle of Wal-Mart to take a deep breath when I saw her try on the one she wanted.
