Mary Grace's First Day of School

Today was Mary Grace's first day of school. She is in the 4-year-old class at our church preschool, Happy Apple Academy. ("Happy Apple" because the children are the apples of God's eye.)
She's in Mrs. Lentz's green apple class. For the first week of school, the kids will be getting acquainted. Today, she learned how to properly set a table. Next week, they will start learning their letters using the Zoophonics program.
The report from the central office was that Mary Grace was leading and directing all of the activities in her classroom today. In particular, she was telling the other children what they would play and deciding what would be for sale in their pretend store. I don't know where she gets that take charge attitude!
Ms. Natalie said that she crashed when she got home to Ms. Julie's house after school at lunch time. She was exhausted from the day and it was only 3 hours!
She'll be back at it tomorrow since she's going 5 days per week. Elsie will join her tomorrow for her first day of preschool. Her classroom is right across the hall from Mary Grace's and is also the same room that she's in for church every Sunday.
What a great day!
