I’m starting first grade in two more weeks. It’s very exciting and it is for you too. I’m excited because I like to do homework and it’s fun because I get new friends and I get to go on the big kid playground where all of the friends like to play with me. I don’t have to leave school as early as kindergarten. It’s much more fun to not leave early like kindergarten.

You can see that I have made my school supplies into a castle and then took a picture of it. I know you can’t see very much of it, but it is still cool, isn’t it? My favorite thing about it is the flag and the ruler, my folders and my crayons, markers, and pencils.

I’m excited for my new teacher. I hope it’s going to be a girl. Do you think so too? It should be a girl?
