Before she started school, we attended her open house. When we visited with the librarian, she told us that not only had Jia read more fairy tales than any other kid in the school last year (as was noted on her report card), she said that Jia read more fairy tales than any other kid EVER! She then told Jia that she had ordered a book especially for her. It was for the fairy tale section, and she told us she'd set it aside so Jia can check it out once school starts. How thoughtful is that!
On the morning of her first day, we had a special breakfast of cinnamon roll snails (got the idea here), sprinkle milk, mini quiches, and fruit. It was painfully early, but the smiles were worth it.
Jia is ready to go!
This is how she feels about returning to school!
Loving her new bag. Hand me downs rock!

After school, Jia said the day was great! She even had time to finish her entire lunch. (Students had an average of 12 minutes for lunch last year and the school system received many complaints about hungry kids and unfinished lunches.) They extended her lunch time by five minutes - yippee!
That night, we had one of her favorites for dinner (southwestern egg rolls) and Strawberry Shortcake for dessert (got the idea here)!
Congrats Jia on a great first day!

Oh my gosh, Jia looks so grown up! I can't believe she's only in 2nd grade. I love that breakfast idea! You come up with the cutest ways to serve food!!
We are now having a problem at my school with the lunch. They are now making our students put their own food on the trays, so it's taking so long for my little 4 & 5 year olds to get through the line. By the time the 2nd graders get their food, they have only about 10 minutes to eat.
So fun!! i thought of your cute breakfast ideas last week for zoe and ella, but only managed to make cupcakes with the #1 on them (for starting first grade). so glad to hear the girls are doing well and enjoying school : )
