Another Day Closer

...to the first day of First Grade for Ellie!

Today is the day that the class lists are posted inside the windows on either side of the front door at each school in Unit 5. Since 4pm there has been a steady stream of families who pile out of their mini-vans and run to the windows to see who their teacher is and who is in their class!

The parents follow behind ready to take a photo with their phone so each kid has a list of their whole class.

This is Ellie's class. She has Mrs. Carlock, and five less kids in her First Grade class than in Kindergarten. That's because instead of 4 1st Grade classrooms like last year, now there are 5!

Gone are the days of Julia, Ainsley and Olivia .. they did everything together. Even Allie, Amrutha and Juhi have moved on to a different classroom. But there is good news. The family that lives across the street has a first grader in the same room as Ellie. Her name is Lindsey and she's as cute as a button. She's also in Girl Scouts with Ellie. And a couple of other girls we know from Scouts too .. Emily, Nadia and Lara will all be there.

We're not talking about the boys ... believe me, more to come! Just remember the name Drew, because I'm sure Ellie won't let us forget it!
