School started today, (followed by 2 days off for Rosh Hashanah) I can't believe I have a 3rd grader! I remember 3rd grade like it was yesterday! Heather Menzer and I were best friends and we had a mixed 2nd/3rd grade class and of course I can't think of my teacher's name but she was older. OK so maybe I remember it like it was 20 years ago but still, I have a lot of memories from that year.
This year, because of the economy, everyone has decided to pull their kids out of private school so there is major overcrowding going on in our school. There are 30, yes 30 kids in E's class! One 4th grade class has 32! Sheesh.
It was so fun to see her go in, because this is her 5th year at the school there was no apprehension at all. She got the teacher she was hoping for so all is right with this 8 year olds life. Well except for Owen who sits at her table (because "our school doesn't have enough room for desks" sad, she will never get to accumulate friendship bracelets and troll dolls and then have to clean out her desk during free time) Apparently Owen likes to say swearwords, oh dear, hopefully he doesn't rub off on her :)
We have our first piano lesson tomorrow. She is really excited. I'm not disillusioned, I know that getting her to practice will be a struggle but for now we are excited.
Our annual first day of school manicure. She loves to be pampered :)

Congratulations to your 3rd grade girl! Wish I could see your pics. Still can't see them. So sad.
I remember trolls and friendship bracelets! But not manicures...dang...
Hope she has a great year!
