Miya’s first day at school

Miya started school today.

Yesterday we went to our local bookshop (about 45 minutes away by metro) and picked up our school supplies.  Miya was very excited and she wanted to start immediately.  I said she had to wait until today.

Finally the day arrived, and, after eating and cleaning teeth she trotted off to school all by herself.

A couple of minutes later I joined her in our schoolroom/playroom.  She had already set up her desk space with her books and pencils.  Mulan was sitting next to her, ready and waiting too.

These are the books we used:

Miya did about three pages of each book.  She wanted to do more, but I suggested that we start out a little slower.  She got out a colouring-in book and did a couple of pages of that while Mulan finished her schoolwork.

Yesterday we also got these books for Mulan:


She started reading the Dr Seuss one last night, and I think she read another chapter or two in bed this morning when she woke up.
