Norah News: First Day of First Grade!

Norah started first grade this year!  This is the first year of "real" school- full days, and I can already see, a lot more content!  While she honed her reading skills last year, she has really taken off and moved to chapter books, meaningful independant reading and is coming home with a plethora of new facts (as compared to skills) that she's learned.  It is really exciting to see her learning, growing and thriving!

Unlike last year, we live in a house and not a trailer as school begins.  Turns out our front porch is a great place for back to school photos!  Norah was really excited about getting back to school.  We had a great summer, but she was ready to get back to the business of learning!

Pondering the year ahead

Big girl, first grade!

Little bro is too cool for school!  Yer.

Around the corner, we picked up Erin and Allie

The whole gang from the hood on the first day (L-R) Kayla, Norah, Jack, Erin, Allie, Cameron, Leilani, Delaney and early achiever Kyra along for the ride!
First grade also brought about Irish Step dance class, instead of the tap and ballet she's been doing for years.  So far, it's a big hit with both Norah and Erin, who is trying dance for the first time this year.
