Child Labor

Maddie was unstoppable this weekend, helping with yardwork.
Not only did she trim the bushes, but she raked and cleaned up the trimmings.
She didn't come inside until everything was done.

Clare's First Movie

Clare was really well behaved, sat through the whole movie.
The next day she kept asking when's the next movie!

Person of the Week

Every week in First Grade there is a person of the week.

Olivia was picked this week and got to bring home Picasso the Panther for the weekend.
After the weekend, she had to write in the class journal about their time together.

This is Olivia taking Picasso to the movies.

The Aftermath

Pumpkin, Candy Corn and Raggedy Ann
