Julia’s First Day of First Grade!

Julia started first grade today! Her teacher is Mrs.. Salt. She is in a Combo class. There are 7 first graders and 7 second graders in a class. Evidently there are not enough teachers and they couldn’t hire another one, so they took the first graders that scored highest and put them in with the second graders. Hopefully she will do well. I think she will. Maybe she will learn some of the second grade curriculum and it will be easy for her next year. She was excited about the kids in her class. She has 2 girls that went to VPK with her and 2 that were in her Kindergarten class last year so she already is friend with 4 of the other 6 in her class. There is also an assistant that is in there all day with the teacher and for 1 hour everyday another assistance comes in and spends 1 on 1 time with the students. So they should have plenty of help for only 14 students.
