The first day of school for Kiara was a big deal because she was going to a new school. Kiara tested into a talented and gifted program in the Strongsville school district. She and 9 other kids are bused from their home school to Drake Elementary school where her classroom is. Kiara's teacher, Mrs. Whitecar, is awesome and it seems to be a perfect fit for Kiara. But as you know, Kiara is great and finding the best in a situation and this is no exception. I was nervous the first day but she was excited. When she got off the bus the first day - she got off with a huge smile on her face - what could be better!
Our big 2nd grader!
She has been in school a couple of weeks now and things are going great. The hardest thing for her was recess. At Whitney (her old school) she played tag and kickball everyday with the boys and a couple of other girls. It took her a little bit to figure out where she belonged in recess at her new school especially since her class is so small. For the past week, Kiara has been playing soccer at recess with a group of boys and another girl. She is a VERY happy! As far as learning goes, the work Kiara brings home is pretty great. She has even brought home 2 papers where she had a mistake on them that needed to be fixed. There was 2 total times last year where Kiara made a mistake on papers because the work was so easy for her and she had so much time to do it. Class has been challenging and a lot of fun for her as well!
