Friday marked the 100th day of the school for Maisie.  I volunteered in her classroom as the kids did all sorts of 100 day activities... mostly math related.  They sorted snacks by picking out 10 items from 10 trays.  They made graphs with their names and color coded them... and read 101 Dalmations.

I feel quite fortunate to have the time to be with Maisie and watch her interact with her fellow classmates.  She's come very far in these first 100 days in elementary school.  Coming from a Montessori background, it was hard for Maisie to transition into traditional learning.  But she's finally realizing that there are rules to follow and expectations to be met.  Her free spirit fights against these rules... she knows she's supposed to follow them, but sometimes she just can't help herself.  She is now reading on a 4th grade level.  Her math skills are quite high as well.  I'm so proud of my 1st Grader !!
