I can't believe it but Ali has started grade 2. The summer sure went fast. She spent two days with her grade one class and tomorrow will find out who her new teacher is and which other kids are in her class. She was happy to see her friends on the first day but was not pleased when I picked her up because all they did the first day was, in her words, "Work! All we did was work. Nothing fun." Well unfortunately she has many years of work ahead of her. Such is life. Here is a picture of her on the first full day back.
Since she is in grade two, I have decided that it is time she take on some new responsibilities. It is now her job to empty her lunch box when she gets home, make her lunch for the next day (with some help), to clean up all toys before bed and to feed the fish. She is actually a very helpful little girl and usually she feeds the dog in the morning before I am dressed.
Her reading, in English, has really improved this summer and apparently, she can remember how to write in French. I found this written on her new white board the other day. It says, "I don't like tomatoes." "I like the colour pink." Not sure what made her write the tomato comment but I am glad she likes pink since I just painted her room this colour.
