5th Day of 5th Grade

Daisy's special school day was today. She decided to wear her hair in a french braid, which was something new for our house. The morning was a little rough, since she's now carrying an instrument back and forth to school with her. She walks, which takes longer, since she can't carry it on her bike.

She decided to try the trumpet - on a recommendation from the music teacher. I think it fits her pretty well. We did a trial through the music store, so not a huge investment. She's already liking it and practicing (in her room please!) without nagging.

For her special meal, she chose chili, a nice meal for the cool weather we've been having. The fifth day of fifth grade - everything is settled in and shaping up to be a good start to the school year.

Her teacher is Mrs. Deutz, a nice woman that seems to have patience with Daisy. I think they will get along well. She has already made a few friends in school and in her class.

She has adjusted well to the block scheduling in different classrooms with different teachers. I think she's also excited about the a la carte options for lunch. Although, she eats really early and is starving at night.

Hopefully Daisy will post some updates of her own throughout the school year.
