1st Day of 1st Grade!

Today was the first day of School for Alicia.  She was excited to start 1st Grade!

1st Grader!

Say "pickles"

Riding on Dad's bike to school

Greg rides his bike to work right after dropping off Alicia at school.  This will be a normal scene throughout the school year.

A parade of people

Since we live so close to school (2 blocks), there is always a few people we're following or following us to school. 

Standing in her class line.

Of course the teacher is the one holding the sign.  Alicia's friend Charlotte is 2 people ahead of her in the yellow shirt and blue backpack.  Lilly is the one standing behind her, both were in her Kindergarten class last year.

 

A sea of people

This may seem like a lot of people, but it is only Kindergarten and 1st graders (and their parents).  Both parents usually show up on the first day, even I rearranged my work schedule for today so I could be there for drop off this morning.  Although I was surprised there didn't seem to be many others taking pictures. 



And to compare to last year's first day.....

1st day of Kindergarten

....what a big difference one year makes.
