All the first grade classes at Erin's school had a Harvest Party on Friday. Erin insisted on dressing up as a pilgrim (despite the fact that this was not a costume party). She was so excited to wear this costume! She was the only one dressed up at school that day, and she couldn't have been happier. I sent in extra clothes for her in case hauling that dress around all day became too much, or if it became a distraction in class. When I got to the school that afternoon for the party she had changed clothes. Her teacher said she had kept it on the whole day, but after lunch she was getting hot and uncomfortable. I was very impressed that she lasted that long!
Erin got the prized spot next to the teepee when they sang!
While we were in the classroom it dawned on me that Jason has never seen her new class, so I've included pictures from her classroom too.
Erin wouldn't smile for the photo because she said "Pilgrims don't smile!"

The "carpet area" where they each sit on a square and do most of their lessons.
The biggest change is that they have real desks this year.
