FIRST GRADE!!!
It was a very exciting day as Alexandra entered the first grade at Hardin Park Elementary School. She is in Mrs. Eberle's class and seems to really like it. Alexandra sat with 3 other students from her kindergarten class. It was nice to see them all again. Alexandra reported having "lots of fun" and not having to do "any real hard work". They got to play games and get to know everyone. The teacher assistant, Ms. Cooke (aka Mrs. Cookie) told me that it was a great first day, possibly the best one they have ever had. Alexandra then reported that her teacher told her that she should have "skipped 1st grade and gone into 2nd." You can imagine my anxiety as I have had to convince Alexandra that just because she was in Year 1 in England doesn't mean that she should go into 2nd grade now, there's a lot more learning to do. At dinner it came out that Mrs. Eberle told the entire class this. Whew! In any case, Alexandra is very excited to go back to school tomorrow.
