The girls went back to school the day after Labor Day this year. Here are the cuties in front of our house. Lauren headed to her second year at the Toddler House and Sophie headed to her first day of Kindergarten!
First Day of School
First Day of School
On September 2 Sophie started her last year of pre-school and Lauren started her first. Lauren was a little weepy when we dropped her off, but Sophie held her hand an walked her in and that was that. Sophie has been such a supportive big sister and since the first day has walked Lauren into her building (which is separate from Sophie’s) every day.
Of the 20 or so pictures I took, heres the best one.
The big girl on her first day. She looks a lot happier (and older!) than her sister did just three years earlier.
First Day of Primary School!
Today Sophie started at the primary school! After two years at the Toddler House she is now with the “big kids.” Greene Towne opened up a new classroom this year for the ADM kids (Add Day Montessori), and it’s beautiful. Huge, with a separate eating area, practical life area, and movement room. She’s also with some friends that were with her the first year of the Toddler House.
Here’s her first day outfit, picked out without any help from mom….
Starting at Greene Towne School
Last week Sophie started preschool at Greene Towne School. The school is about 10 blocks from our house, and one of her classmates lives down the block from us, so we’ve been walking in together. So far Sophie seems to really like it. A day of play, who wouldn’t? (although since it’s Montessori, they call it “work”.)
Here are a few shots from her first day.
