Last Monday, Alyssa started school. She is going to American Heritage, for those who are familiar with the school. For those who aren't, it is an LDS Private school across the street from the Mount Timpanogas Temple in American Fork. Here is little sister wishing her a good first day.
This is the front of the school. Can you tell how excited she is to be going to school.
We feel fortunate to have Grandpa Wheeler working at the school and checking up on her every once in awhile.
Danny and I have worked out a schedule for dropping her off and picking her up since it is a 20 minute drive for us, and there is no bus service. Danny takes her M/W/F and I take her T/Th. I also pick her up everyday. You can arrange carpools with other parents, but we didn't know if anyone would be interested in carpooling with us just having a half day Kindergartner so we didn't sign up for that. Since the first day of school was a Monday, Danny was the one who took her.
At Meet-Your-Teacher she was able to choose which seat she wanted to sit in. I tried to talk her into one that was in the middle and closer, but she wanted the back corner. Here she is doing her first assignment.
Alyssa's class has 18 kids in it and only 5 of them are girls. I don't know if there are just more girls her age or if it was just the way things worked out when they were deciding which kids to put in what class. She comes home from school excited to do her homework and to tell me all of the fun things that she got to do that day. We feel fortunate that she is able to attend American Heritage and we hope that it continues to be a good experience for her.

Alyssa looks so happy! Brooklyn can't wait to start preschool this week.
How fun! So excited for Alyssa to start school. When looking at the pictures, Haydn didn't recognize Ashley. She's growing up so fast! Afterwards, he said he missed everyone of you by name. Can't say I disagree with him either.
