Sky had a fabulous first day of first grade. She is in Mrs. Wright's class (last year she had Mrs. White). Mrs. Wright is also a strong Christian and was even awarded the teacher of the year award for the district last year! When I picked Sky up from her class today and asked her how her day was, she said that first grade is even better than kindergarten! And Sky loved kindergarten. 
The new classes were posted outside the school at 3pm yesterday. So, we drove over to see who Sky's new teacher would be. Sky was excited to get Mrs. Wright as a teacher, but even more than that, she was ecstatic when she saw that her best friend Victoria was going to be in her class again. Above is a picture of the 2 of them outside their classroom.
Below is Sky with Victoria and her first grade teacher, Mrs. Wright. One down side of the day was her class size (all the classes are bigger than usual due to California's financial crisis): 29 students! And, yes, her teacher wears a microphone set so that everyone can hear her better (she's a bit soft spoken). With Ken's research leave this semester, I'm hoping to volunteer in Sky's class for a few hours a week.

Soo excited about Sky's first day of first grade! Great that she has a Christian teacher and her friend again with her! God does go before us and answers our prayers and heart's desires! Sky will continue to be in our prayers! May this be a wonderful learning and growing year for her! We love that very special girl!
