Meet the Teacher

David Harrison Elementary

It's a new school near our house but, unfortunately, not in our district. We had to put in a transfer request which was accepted but that means no bus service (Nicole was very disappointed about that). The facilities are fantastic and this school has a big focus on technology with lots of computers, even in the kindergarten classroom.

Her principal, Ms. Mendel

(We definitely like her. She knows the kids by name and often makes calls to parents when their child has been caught doing something good. She has an excellent reputation; in fact, a couple of the kindergarten teachers left their former school to follow her to Harrison!)

Nicole made a picture for her new teacher.

Feeling a little excited!

Time for a Daddy Hug

Nicole signed her name ... complete with smiley face. 

(I'm sure they'll work on the directional thing later this year. What can I say? She's a lefty!)

This is what is now hanging at the back of her cubby.  She gets to see her family every day!
