First Day of First Grade!!!


The very thought of Abby starting school brings a tear to my eye.  Add in a new school, with new people, and that fact that Nana won't be there everyday to check on her, I almost become panicky.  However, as He has done throughout this whole adventure, God has provided us with a wonderful school for Abby.  Valle Crucis Elementary is located in an almost a picturesque setting.  Located in a valley, surrounded by mountains, it offers a small school family which is great for Abby.  About 400 students K-8 attend this school so Abby will quickly learn the people involved in her education.

Abby had a wonderful experience in kindergarten.  Mrs. Pence, Abby's kindergarten teacher, was the perfect fit for Abby.  She challenged Abby while understanding Abby's emotional side as well.  She always encouraged, supported, and loved Abby.  I was concerned Abby would never find another teacher like Mrs. Pence.  Yet, Mrs. Matthews, her first grade teacher, has proven to be another perfect fit for Abby.

Thus far, Abby has really enjoyed school.  She still doesn't know the names of her classmates, but at least she knows the teacher's name:)  In time, she will make friends and as we become more established in the community, her circle of friends will increase.
