After ten weeks of Summer vacation Ava is back at school.
As of today she is my big first grader.
Her school day goes an hour longer than last year, she spends her recess in the "big yard" and she now has homework every night.
Just like a big kid.
Here's a look at her first day of first grade...
 |
| Arriving at school this morning - it was very sunny |
 |
| There are some interesting names in Ava's class |
 |
| First up, colouring in name tags for their cubbies |
 |
| Colouring, colouring... |
 |
| Welcome class |
 |
| Waiting to be dismissed at the end of the day |
 |
| Telling me about her day |
 |
| Look at all this homework I've got Mum! |
 |
| On the yard |
After school we dropped by the nearby bakery for celebratory cupcakes.

| A cupcake to celebrate the first day |

| Cupcakes with her school friend Abby |
 |
| Mmm... chocolatey goodness! |
Back home it was time to get onto that math homework for the first day.
 |
| Working on her math homework |
 |
| All the right answers |
 |
| Almost done |
Ava was excited to show us some of her work that she brought home today. In class she drew this picture of herself playing in a playground and wrote a little story about it.

A successful start to a new school year!
