Chantel before she gets in the car the first day! 
Chantel at Vikki's house!
Chantel and Rachel at Vikki's house, before the bus pose!
Here comes the bus up the street!
Here Chantel is getting ready to board the bus for the first time to go to school! (Vikki is talking to the bus driver- Pat, about the stop changing. She now gets on one stop earlier. Things are settling down with the bus!)
So far she's been at school 8 days out of 10. She missed the 2nd day of school due to Pop Pop's funeral 9/9/09, and she missed yesterday due to cold/allergy- runny/stuffy nose symptoms.
She also has been enjoying ballet class on Thursdays! Her teacher is Miss Lisa and we can't wait to watch her in October, the 2nd week, when we are allowed to observe the class. (Miss Deanna, the owner said they looked like they were doing a good job when she watched them the other week!)
Chantel is very lucky to be going to Kindergarten all day, she enjoys: recess and lunch for 1/2 an hour each, snack, 45 min. of special daily- art, gym, computer, music, and library. They even have a reduced length schedule for classes, etc. to fit in specials on early dismissal days. (Wow, when I heard that the other day, I was impressed.) Oh, she will have the opportunity to purchase an in color school yearbook. I don't know of any elementary schools that do that! (just 5th grade ones, not in color?) Small class size 12-15. I believe she has 14 children. Normal is close to 20-21 or more at most schools, public or private! So, we are very grateful for the benefits she is receiving! Praise the Lord!
She seems to be developing friendships and maturing so quickly. She is developing a self-confidence that I 've never noticed before. She's not as dependent on us, more polite and patient with others as well. Hopefully, we can learn some of these good things as well. (The pressure of life recently seems to have caused me to get frustrated so easily the past 2 weeks, today feels a little better.)
Hope you enjoy this update
