Tuesday was Kaitlyn's first day of school at her new school! She loved it! Our town is set up a bit different. K-2 attends one of three different elementary schools. 3-5 attends the intermediate school. Then there is one middle school for 6-8 and one high school for 9-12. On the first day, only K, 3, 6, and 9 attend so they can get used to the school, meet all their teachers, etc.
There are about 700 students at the intermediate school which they break up into four different "learning communities". It's kind of like there being four much smaller schools under one roof. The whole school gets together occasionally for things like the welcome assembly. However, most of the time they remain in their smaller learning communities. Kaitlyn is in the 'red' community. She will stay in that community for the 4th grade, but have the option for moving when she reaches the 5th grade.
She already feels so comfortable at the school. One of her girl scout friends is in her class. A friend from her dance class rides her bus and another girl who used to take dance with her attends morning and after school care.
Kaitlyn hasn't stopped talking about how much she likes school, her teacher, lunch... She's already signed up for cross country, so she will even get to see her old Holy Cross teammates at the meets.
Her highlight for the first day though... taking the bus home!
