first grader no more

The last day of the Lara's year as a first grader is over and done with. We brought flowers for the little boys and girls who wouldn't be joining her class into the next grade, and some presents for her teacher. In the past year Lara has learned to read, do maths, perform in a play and speak english. She has also learned to go with the flow and not be so put out when things don't go her way. This was, and still is, a challenge for her. The main thing is that there is progress and she loves going to school. She has made oodles of new friends and many phone numbers were exchanged to ensure summer play dates - summer, here we come!
