Today is Harper's first day of kindergarten! I had scheduled the morning off many months ago when I thought I would be walking Harper to her classroom. Today is in no way what we had imagined it would look like. Harper will be "attending" school at the Scheer's condo in Uptown. We arranged a bedroom to be her classroom and Alex will be her facilitator/teacher. It is going to be a learning experience for everyone involved!
Harper is now a student at Irwin Academic Center which is also located in Uptown. We truly won the lottery on this school (literally). It is a magnet school for learning immersion and academically gifted students (still a public school). We went from being slotted to attend the 1450th out of 1458 elementary schools in North Carolina to one of the top twenty. We are so very excited to have Harper be part of this amazing school. Hopefully, she will actually get to physically attend school in the near future.
Harper's classroom!
I hung decorations outside of Harper's door for her first morning surprise.
We continued the Schneider's German tradition of giving the kids a Schultüte on their first day of school. We filled it with candy and toys. I feel bad for Harper's teacher this morning :)
