Ella Catherine's first grade orientation/registration

Ella Catherine had first grade registration today.  We had received a letter about 2 weeks ago from her new teacher, Ms. Verell welcoming her to her class and she enclosed the school supply list.  We couldn't find everything on her list (i.e a clipboard) and some supplies we had to buy at the school bookstore, but the rest of the supplies we loaded up and went to meet her teacher.  I think she was equally excited to see if any of her friends from Kindergarten were in her first grade class.  She was happy to find out her friend Camilla was in her class.  She also had 3 boys that were also in her kindergarten class, Connor, Po Zo and Jordan.  We sat in her chair and listened to Ms. Verell introduce herself and tell us the rules of the classroom.  The kids each had the opportunity to pick out their own cubby.  The parents had a lot of paperwork to fill out.  While we filled out the paperwork the kids got to explore the room a little and catch up from the summer.  Ms. Verell also told us that she was engaged and would be getting married over fall break and her name would change to Mrs. Hairston.


Ready for first grade registration.  Backpack full of supplies and VERY heavy.
