1st Day of School

Over the past year I've blogged about my middle-class urban angst as we've sought and fought to indentify and gain admission to an urban public school that is ahead of the failing-school curve and hopefully about more than just teaching kids to succeed on standardized tests so that no one is "left behind."

Well K-Day has arrived and our daughter is off to her first day of school. Hopefully by now they're either at their first recess, learning names, or prepping for the first round of standardized tests.

Here's some pictures from this morning and a video to mark the day.



I think I'll celebrate today by beginning to look at Middle Schools :)


Cheers and blessings to all the OUSD families and staff in this first day of school!

Ho cute she is. Rose started 2nd grade and Sage will start 1st grade this week. I can't believe how they all are growing (sorry had to say that...). One question? Where is her other sock? Blessings to all on the first day of school. Karl

We could actually only afford 1 sock....at least it was the Right one. Good thing we got into a public school.

That is the most fabulous first day of school picture I have ever seen. The one sock is the best!

WOW!!! I can't believe she is in kindergarten! She is growing up so fast! Feel like i'm going to turn around and she'll be at her high school prom... you had better start looking at middle schools!
Love to you all
