Here is Rachel having breakfast before getting ready for her first day of Grade One. She was a little apprehensive about going, but after telling her that she would see all of her friends from Kindergarten she was pretty excited and was ready for school an hour earlier than she needed to be.

Here is Rachel in the line up outside her new classroom. Her friends Montana and Jocelynn join her as they wait to meet their new teachers.

Montana and Rachel are in their classroom now. They haven't been assigned desks or cubbyholes yet, but they have met their teachers. They have 2 teachers this year. Mrs. Edwards was pregnant and her due date was the first week of school, so the class only met her on the first day. In January, Mrs. Edwards will be back one day a week. Ms. Coulter is the other teacher that teaches 5 days a week right now and will take the other 4 days once Mrs. Edwards comes back in January. Both ladies are very nice.

Here is Rachel at my mom's house, her Mama, after school. Mama taught Noelani how to drink from the water hose. Here is Rachel giving Noelani a demonstration on how to do it without getting all wet.
