Big girl

Gosh, she has grown up so much since school started last Fall. Is it really selfish of me to feel sad that Katya spends more of the week day at school then with me?! It is the way of the future of course; I just wish this first year of primary school was a little less hours in the classroom and a few more being a goofy, carefree kid. We sure love our school though. Katya is doing very well and learning a TON. Ms. Baird says that her whole class is more at the first grade level now then kindergarten; which is were they need to be at the end of the school year. Way to go Ms. Baird! Katya has really impressed us with her reading and math skills. I love seeing the homework she brings home, often math, which approches problems from a varity of directions. We downloaded a few learning apps for the I-pad which the kids love.

I am enjoying the routine we have fallen into. Craig takes K to school about 3 days a week and I take her the other two. The littles and I usually get outdoors for a while in the morning. And then we really burn some energy after school on the playground. We stay for up to an hour after school running around and playing various games. It is pretty fun:-)

Here are some pictures of K wearing my black dress that my Aunt got me:-) She looks pretty cute in it!
