First Day of School

Well, she did it! She entered the bus and is now back in the public school system. Today we asked her if she was excited and her answer was yes, but also a little scared. Fortunately, we have a little neighbor girl that will be in the same grade as Mia and they are both excited to share bus rides, lunches and recess together. Here are some departure pictures (and yes I cried). I am really going to miss spending the day with her.

Not sure which child took this picture... but what a great composition! The photo was taken from the observation booth.

During the month of April it is our turn to organize activities for the group. We started with a variety of group challenges and ended the day with a presentation from the JMU breakdance team. Wooo! We had a fabulous time.
