Tomorrow is Ella's first day of school at New Vistas Academy. Tomorrow's day is more like an open house, it is only an hour instead of two and Jimmy and Ryen and I will be with her so we can meet her teacher. We have been so excited for Ella to start school mostly because she has been asking for 8 mos if she can go to school with a backpack and dinosaur (something she saw in a Caillou episode once). She talks about being a big girl and going to school all the time!
We loved New Vista's slogan which is "A little out of the way - a LOT out of the ordinary." One great thing about this school is they will help foster Ella's love of reading! They don't believe a child has to be a certain age before they are ready to start learning how to read, so they repeatedly meet with the children through the school year to "test" them for reading readiness. And they begin teaching them how to read, as soon as they show they are ready.
She got to pick out her own backpack at the store (she chose Disney Princesses) and of course a toy dinosaur. So we hope you enjoy this blog. We will post some photos on Friday of her first week of school.
What a great idea to have a blog just for Ella! How cute that she wants to go to school with a dinosaur! She is such a cutie pie! I am sure she will do great at this school!
