The 1st Day of 5th Grade

MK is a 5th Grader. Apparently, this is a real milestone at Hohenfels Elementary School. 5th and 6th graders are in a separate building called "the Atrium" and they also have lockers! This year, the 5th and 6th grade classes will have a home room teacher and rotate around to the other teachers for the different subjects. Just like in Middle School. MK has been anxiously awaiting for school start for at least four weeks. We've been buying "5th grade" clothes and she is wearing a women's size 6 shoe! She's been practicing "5th grade" hairstyles and spending hours in front of the mirror practicing her smile for her "5th grade" school photo. She is carrying a grown-up lunch bag this year and has her American Girl backpack. Now, if mom and dad would just give to her her very own cell phone life would be complete for this Tween Queen! Sigh, look at our little girl growing up.
