Today was a very exciting day in the King household. Little Miss Trinity King would be starting her very first day of school. She is now enrolled in the Mesquite ISD Pre-K program at J. H. Florence Elementary School. We are all so very excited.
We've been waiting for this day for some time now. Trinity always talks about going to school and learning how to read and write. I have been working with her (our own version of home school) for the past year, preparing her for her big day and it's finally here. Yippie!
We went into the school, supplies in hand, waiting to meet her teacher, Ms Davies. She gave all of the parents a thorough packet, explaining her background and what we could expect throughout the year. She seems like a really good teacher. She's been with the Mesquite ISD for 25 yrs and best of all, she's a Christian. I was so excited to find this out. God is good! She was born in Seoul, South Korea and came to the USA after being adopted at age 3. She's been a Sunday school teacher at her church for 18 yrs and has sang in the choir for 28 yrs.
Trinity school year willl focus on reading and writing, math, science, and social studies. I am so eager to watch Trinity blossom this year. She can already write her name and knows a few sight words. She's ready to learn and we are so thankful that she has the opportunity.
When I picked her up, she had a huge smile on her face. She said that she was a little bit nervous at 1st but she made some new friends, Emma and Tolisha. She said that she colored, played in the gym, and learned some alphabet sounds. She even got to be the line leader. She was very excited.
A few days ago Taurus gave her some pointers about school and told her that she needed to be a leader, not a follower. So the fact that she got to lead the line to the gym gave her great joy. I think she's off to a great start.
We're excited about getting involved and joining the PTA. I can't wait to be the classroom mom.
Well that's it for now. Check back later to see what else is going on in "A Day in the Life of Kendi King".

HI Trinity & Everyone,
Just read trinity first day at school, sounds like she had a great time. Can't believe she's already in school. Wow, some relief for Mom for a few hours, I know from the past, that means alot.
Trinity, I know you will do good in school, because you have two wonderful parents that will help you in anyway they can, and besides that you are a very smart little girl. Just do what dad said, be a leader and you will do well always. You will be teaching your little sister how to do things, like drawing, abc's & numbers, and you will be good with her because you love her.
Iam very proud of you.
Love Ya,
Sheila
