The Star Student of the Week! Aug 29-Sept 2

She wanted to show me how she can climb and hang on the spider web.
So proud of herself:)
Ms. Cooney made a poster of the pictures I sent in for Elli.
Elli with Ms. Cooney. She has made this transition easy. Elli loves her.
Ms. Cooney pulled me aside on Friday to tell me she had chosen Elli to be the star student of the week. She asked me to keep it a secret and to send in pictures for the poster. When I showed up to get Elli on Monday, she came running down the hall, as the line leader of the week, wearing her crown and yelling "Mommy, Mommy. I am the star student!" She was chosen for her good citizenship.
This is a picture of Elli's first homework assignment. She got a sticker and a smiley face. The picture is a self portrait:) The green lines are for her good behavior. She has really come around and now likes kindergarten. I on the other hand still cry each morning when I leave her there.

I can't believe she is at the top of that thing on the playground! I was always scared of that as a kid (shocker). Star student of the week??? That's awesome! By the way, Elli wanted me to guess her teacher's name and told me it started with an 's'. After I guessed about 20 names, she told me what it was...I couldn't help but laugh!

ooops i wrote a comment and i guess i didn't sign in so i think it got lost! i'll try again:) i loved reading all about how the transition of kindergarten went and that even though the first day Ellie wasn't crazy about it she has grown to enjoy it. i often wonder how i would handle Andrew - i think i would just cry for days! and it would be hard to send him back if he said he didn't like it. so happy that she enjoys it. And such a cute first day of school outfit:)
