Kindergarten here we come!!!

It is finally here....the first day of school. Jordan is now officially and elementary school student!! A whole new chapter in her life! We had been talking about it our whole vacation and the night before, so she knew what was happening. I set out some outfits, and to my surprise she picked the shorts instead of the skirt. Anyhow, here we are getting ready to leave. Off we go, getting into the car. We get to drive her everyday since she is going to a school she is not assigned to. And today we got Spencer in preschool at the same school, so I will be there morning, noon, and after noon! They had all the kindergarteners sit at tables in the cafeteria. At this point, Jordan seemed a little nervous. We didn't think we could see her room, but then they announced that we could follow them to the class.
Here she is lining up to get goin to the class.
It's official Jordan-you are in Kindergarten!! This is the sign on her classroom window. Her class is the first one right at the end of the hall you walk down. She has english in the morning with Mrs. McDowell, and Spanish in the afternoon with Mrs. Hoo. ( I know, funny name for Spanish teacher.)

They had to find the desk with their name on it and put on their nametag. Jordan is a green rectangle.

These are for Jill, who didn't realize she could come in with Liz. I was previously told that we couldn't go further than the hall way and we didn't have our cell phones to call Jill....anyhow here is Lizzie when whe found her seat. She and Jordan are in the same class!!
Jordan was excited to see me when I picked her up. She didn't really give too many details right away, but did seem disappointed when she said "we didn't even get do any homework." She mentioned playing on the playgound, and remembered the name of one little girl in her class. Can you imagine trying to learn the names of 24, well for Jordan and Liz 23 other kids and 4 teachers? WOW!!
Here we go into the world of elementary school!
