Leigha & the Triplets: First Grade!

Leigha is officially in school full time! On Monday she started first grade. She only had 2 weeks off between Kindergarten and First Grade, but she was anxious to start. Hopefully she keeps up that great attitude. Leigha goes to the same school I teach at. I am hoping that Leigha will love to read by the end of first grade. One of the reasons I chose the teacher I did is because of her love for books. Leigha NEEDS that! I thought about putting her in a technology class (computers for each child) but decided that she needed more work with reading and writing. The fact that she is next to me helped that decision. I remind her of that constantly!

Leigha loves that she gets to go to a Special (PE, Art, Music, Library, and Humanities) every day. In Kindergarten they got to go to one a week for 25 minutes. Now she goes for 50 minutes every day! That's a big change. I finally have my lunches back and will have more time in my room in the morning, now that I don't have to drive her home during my lunch period.

It was hard trying to get her excited for the beginning of school when I was not ready for it. I had so much to do, I almost forgot that I have a duty as mom! Here is my FIRST GRADER on her first day of school!
