First Day of 1st Grade




Katie started first grade today!!! Yesterday we went and met her teacher, Miss Wienecke. Miss Wienecke is a brand new teacher from Dyersville (where Grandma Shirley is from).... She's very young and this is her first year of teaching. Could be an interesting year....

Katie got up and around very well this a.m. She was so excited to ride the bus to school for the first time. I was not as excited and I made a copy of her bus schedule and put my name and phone number on it in case she got lost. She goes with the neighborhood kids to the public school where she switches to another bus to go to her parochial school.

She had an early out today and she reported that all went well and that she had a great time today in school, although she did not win at BINGO. I guess they are starting them early aren't they???

We'll see how she gets up the rest of the week. She is not a morning person and she has to be on the bus at 7:21 a.m. It's going to be interesting.....

I told Katie I would leave her a message this week. Hope school is going well so far. Go Cyclones! (I suppose you get to watch the game because it is on Mediacom. I get to watch it on the internet)
