Going to school to get some knowledge




First day of school, first day of school, ohhhhhhhhh let's name the zones the zones the zones, let's name the zones of the open sea.




Today was Emma Roo's first day of second grade and she was soo excited. That girl had her hair brushed and shiny hours before school had even begun and was ready to leave the house 45 minutes before it opened. Of course, we woke up to thunderstorms and it poured as I walked her in, wet, but anxious. She has a desk in the front near the chalkboard(for once) and sits with 5 boys and 1 girl at her table. Since there are only 10 girls in a class of 32 it's bound to be boy overload at any table. This week she has half days and then starts full on Friday. Her first assignment was to make a monkey out of 3 pieces of brown construction that was sent home today along with 2 googly eyes. I had to google, How to Draw a Monkey, or should've looked in the book Idiot's Guide to Monkey Drawing. Mom's are not meant to draw monkey's, that's a dad job. I'm the one cleaning up after the monkey's in my house. Aside from physically throwing feces in the house, they come pretty close to all the other characteristics, well maybe not the smell. Looking forward to another fun year at school. Hurray Emma! The first picture was Emma and her friend Haley Hyde.

I remembered how you started this blog last year on Emma's first day of 1st grade (and then you didn't post for months!). You should skip back to last August and see how different she looks in a year. So much more grown up looking now - hard to believe the changes in a year.
