First day of 2nd Grade

So Grace had her first day of 2nd Grade on Monday!! (She's actually starting in the middle of their school year, so she'll start 3rd Grade in February.) It's so strange! Her school is called Pacific Hills Christian Academy and so far we've been really pleased with what we see and are excited about it. There's 3 2nd grade classes and she's in Mrs. Stephens' class. As you can see, she has to wear a uniform to school, so kind of different than what we're used to! The first day they had Gym class, so she had to wear her "Sport" uniform. She can also wear it on Fridays. She has a dress she wears on the other days. They also have a "No hat, No play" rule at all the schools here in Australia because of the intensity of the sun. It's the highest leading country in skin cancer!! Any time they go outside, they have to wear their hats - so funny! All in all, it was a good day.
Funny story: She said the kids kept asking her to say words, etc. so they could hear her "accent". Ha! She said she just wanted to eat her lunch in peace! I told her that would pass and they would get used to it.
