First day of 1st and 4th grade at Mullan Rd Elementary!



The girls were excited and ready to head out to Mullan Rd this morning.  I always take the first day of school off, so I was able to get them ready this morning...make a yummy breakfast (breakfast burritos).....make their lunches (actually, Audriana made her own!)....drive them to school and take lots of pictures!  I have to say, I am so dang proud of these two girls.  This was Sofia's very first day at Mullan Rd and she really surprised me with her confidence -- she was calm, cool, and collected and definitely ready to get the year started!  Since we had visited her classroom last week and met her teacher, she knew just where to go and exactly where her desk was.  She hung up her backpack, sat at her table and started working on the coloring sheet that was in front of her.  Wow...first grade!  Audriana on the other hand, was an old pro at this!  She was excited for Sofia, but she was super excited to get to her classroom on the upper level of Mullan Rd (4th, 5th, and 6th grades are up).  We had already seen her class list, so she knew that her best friend, Havala (pictured below with her) was in her class.  She was so happy about that.  Her other best friend, Cooper, was also in her class again this year!  Yay!  I took her upstairs to her classroom and we met Mrs. Berg together -- what a great lady!  I've heard nothing but awesome things about her, so I am excited to see how the year progresses.  She does a lot of "co-teaching" with the other 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Winters.  Their classrooms are next door to each other and have a folding wall between that they can open up and have 1 big classroom. 


Audriana's teacher:  Mrs. Berg! 






Sofia has Mrs. Yonago, another teacher that I have heard only great things about.  I think Sofia is really going to like her and her classroom!
