Hello, this is Simon.<\/p>\n

My daughter bid farewell<\/strong><\/em> to her daycare at the end of last month. And this month, she began new adventure: starting at elementary school.<\/p>\n

We went along to the entrance ceremony the other day. There we got to find out her teacher, and the other students in her class. It turned out that three friends from her daycare center, and the girl who lives next door are her new classmates. We breathed the big sigh of relief, as she can get overwhelmed by new environments, so having friends around is a big help.<\/p>\n

The students all walk to school together in designated groups<\/strong><\/em>. And, last month, two kids from her walking group came and introduced themselves to us, which was nice. They explained where the meeting place was and said they would come down to our place to get my daughter. I was very impressed.<\/p>\n

Since she started, I have been taking her to the meeting place every morning. The group leaders seem very well organized, and friendly. This again made me feel relived, as I had just heard a story recently from my wife about her coworker\u2019s daughter. Apparently, the leader of her walking group is very scary, and now she doesn\u2019t want to go to school. I\u2019ve been counting my lucky stars<\/strong><\/em> so far.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a lot of new preparation, every morning and we are still getting used to the new routine, but we are slowly finding our rhythm<\/strong><\/em>. Most important of all is, my daughter is enjoying school so far. What more could I ask<\/strong>?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cbid farewell\u201d<\/h2>\n

To \u201cbid farewell\u201d<\/strong> means to say goodbye to someone or something. It can be literal<\/p>\n

e.g. Before boarding the plane, we gathered to bid farewell to our friends and family.<\/p>\n

or figurative<\/p>\n

e.g. As the sun set on their last day of vacation, they bid farewell to the beach and headed back home.<\/p>\n

\u201cdesignated groups\u201d<\/h2>\n

The verb “designate”<\/strong> means to officially assign or set apart someone\/something for a specific role, task, purpose or use. In this context, “designated groups”<\/strong> refers to specific groups of students that have been officially assigned or designated by the school for walking to school together.<\/p>\n

Other common combinations used with \u201cdesignated\u201d are: designated driver\/smoking area\/parking spot leader\/route\/seating.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been counting my lucky stars\u201d<\/h2>\n

This expression means feeling fortunate or grateful for one’s good luck or blessings. It’s like acknowledging and appreciating the positive aspects or outcomes in a situation<\/p>\n

e.g. Despite the challenges, she counted her lucky stars for having such supportive friends and family.<\/p>\n

\u201cfinding our rhythm\u201d<\/h2>\n

This phrase refers to becoming accustomed to a new routine or pattern, especially in a way that feels comfortable and natural. It implies adjusting to and syncing with a new way of doing things<\/p>\n

e.g.<\/p>\n

-After moving to a new city, it took some time, but we’re starting to find our rhythm and settle into a routine.<\/p>\n

-Learning to play the piano was challenging at first, but now I’m finding my rhythm and enjoying it more.<\/p>\n

What more could I ask?<\/h2>\n

This is a rhetorical question expressing contentment or satisfaction with the current situation. It suggests that everything is going well, and there’s nothing more that you could wish for or desire<\/p>\n

e.g.<\/p>\n

-With a loving family, a fulfilling job, and good health, she often wondered, “What more could I ask for?”<\/p>\n

-Sitting by the fireplace with a book in hand, he pondered the peaceful evening and thought, “What more could I ask for on a quiet night like this?”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

April is the start of many new things. I hope you\u2019re all off to a great start this new school year!<\/p>\n

See you next month!<\/p>\n
