Paige the First-Grader


Paige woke up bright-eyed and happy this morning. She got dressed, read her scriptures and told me how to do her hair. Today was "red" day which took off the pressure of what to wear on the first day of school. I guess her class has a different color each day this week. We didn't go school clothes shopping this year anyway, since we had so many hand-me-downs. The only trouble is that there aren't really any "outfits".

First grade! Paige couldn't stop talking about how excited she was for lunch time. She even remembered to make her own lunch the night before. She picked out a princess lunch box. I tried to get her to pick out some other cute design, but her heart was set on those princesses.

Paige's desk is in the very front center of the classroom. She is excited to have a secret cubby underneath to store her stuff. On back to school night she noticed that her name was placed under "teacher's helper" for the week. She is still waiting to see what that means.

There are only a couple of kids in her class that Paige already knew from last year. She will have lots of opportunities to make more friends. But I asked her who she sits right next too, and she said it was a boy, but she couldn't remember his name. Maybe that's good - she won't get in trouble for talking to her neighbor too much. Cause she never talks too much. :)
