Maggie, the bike rider!

We finally have a bike rider people! After many months of trying, many power struggles and some stage fright, she took off tonight!!

Maggie's First Day in First Grade

Today, Mag's started first grade.  She told me this morning she was excited and when I asked her if she was nervous she told me she wasn't.  (Thirteenth year of teaching, and I still get nervous!!)  Her teacher told me she only had to ask 4 times the difference between a hot lunch and a cold lunch, and ask which one she was!!  It is wonderful to have her so close to me since she's in the same wing as me this year!  I get to see her at recess, too.  It was a little strange at first because I'm not used to it.  When I was watching the kids at recess duty, it definitely took me by surprise when I saw her!!

Here's a pic from this morning with her amazing teacher, Amanda Gerken:
