School is officially back in session at the Poelstra house! We started first grade today, and the school year is off to a great start! While it may seem a bit early to be beginning the year, I foresee taking an approximate three week break from school when the baby is born in November, so by starting early we can end on time! Faith was very ready to start and very excited about all the new things she will learn in first grade! Admittedly, I am pretty excited too!!
Some of the new additions to the first grade curriculum include a greater emphasis on reading by Faith (reading lists, reading short stories each day), spelling words, and more writing. She is also going to be learning Spanish through the Rosetta Stone program! In spite of having swimmers ear (we also went to the doctor today to find out why Faith was having so much ear pain!), it was a great first day! And with starting out with Charlotte's Web as our read-aloud, it was a fun morning!
