Alheli's 1st Day in School...

Today I hurry off to school,

To work, and learn and play, I'm in Kindergarten this year. What a happy day!

On my back a pack I carry. In it, all my treasures. It's what I need so I can be one class higher. Crayons, rulers, scissors, too! And yes a lil' Elmer's glue. Paper, pencils, in my bag... Wonder what made mom so sad? Uniform, nice and neat. Will it really stay this clean? On my back a pack I carry. In it, all my treasures! Today I'll be, Just watch and see, One class higher.

It's 6:45am and I'm ready for school...

Vamonos... C'mon, let's go! It's my first day in school...

...this is my school!

...waiting for my name tag

I wonder if my drawing will be as good as theirs, I wonder if they'll like me, or just be full of stares, I wonder if my teacher will look like mom or gram, And I wonder if Philip will wonder where I am.
