Savannah's First School Project

This is the process we, as a family, went through to help Savannah Grace with her first school project. As we made the project we had to document it with pictures and put together a book that told and showed what all we did. The shadowbox is suppossed to be her classroom, the 2 tall paper dolls are her teachers, Mrs. Legare and Mrs. Riddle and the 3 short paper dolls are SG, Nathan and Ayoola (2 other students in her class). The point of the project was for SG to be able to use the shadowbox and paper dolls to show us what she does in her class each day. One of the pictures towards the bottom shows the front of her book that we did as a part of the project. Hope you enjoy the process through pictures.

Flowers in the Backyard

Just thought I's share some blooms in our backyard.

Week One Down

So Savannah Grace has completed her first full week of school and boy was it full of "firsts":

*First school project completed and taken in for show and tell
*First school picture taken
*First chapel service attended
*First fundraiser underway (want to buy something?)
*First time she had a bug taken off of her frog and had to sit in "time out"
*First time she didn't get to play during recess because she was talking in line (imagine that!)

All in all the week was great and I really couldn't ask for things to have gone better. Each day she came home with a smile on her face and a sticker on her calendar. (Each day you have a "good day" you get a sticker on your calendar) And at the end of the week she got 3 lollipops from the treasure chest! Phillip and I are SO proud of her! We love you Savannah Grace!

Savannah's First Day of School

God is SO good! I couldn't have asked for a better first day of school for Savannah Grace! She had a great morning and was chomping at the bit to get into her class. There were no tears, from her or me, and we quickly turned and left while she was distracted reading a book. I was so nervous for her and her teachers all morning and by 11:15 I was chomping at the bit to see how her day was. As her class came into the gym for parent pick-up I expected her to dart over to us. However, she stayed right in line with her class. She looked great, there were no tears, she didn't look sad or mad she looked like she had a good time. Her teacher said she had a good day and she's excited about going back tomorrow! Thank you to everyone out there that has been lifting us, and this transition, up in prayer, keep them coming.

*Side note: Savannah's teacher has been teaching 4K for 14 years now! That was a huge comfort for me to know. Her name is Mrs. Legare.
