Monday 27 August 2007 was back to school day in Maryland.
Olivia had a visit to the school the prior Friday to take her books out, meet her teacher and find her new room. She is in a class with no one from her kindergarten class which was daunting for the 5 minutes it took her to make a new best friend. There were a range of activities set up around the room, like seeing how many times you can find your name, to get the kids familiar with the setup.
Monday went fine with Olivia disappearing on the big yellow school bus with the other local kids to Rosemary Hills Elementary School. The route has been changed with additional of stops before the bus gets to her stop (still the last stop) so she's getting picked up a bit late and getting home a bit late but that's ok.
While I was home for a work hookup on Thursday night, Donna took Olivia and Kieren back to the school for a pizza and ice cream picnic night which Miss 'Social Queen' Olivia just had to go to!
Donna has also found a swim school for Olivia and Kieren so they will start swimming lessons again on Tuesdays after school. Kieren doesn't start pre-school until Tuesday 11 September.
Some photos of Olivia's first day are here.
