Narrative:

After a good local flight and warm up for first solo; I sent my student to solo and he was a little nervous as normal. I was able to watch the whole thing from the ground and listen to ATC on a handheld radio. The student started off well by doing a good landing and communicating with tower. The second lap in the pattern he approached high and fast and made a good decision to go around. The final lap in the pattern; he approached normally; but was unable to correct properly for the wind. As he touched down; I observed the aircraft turn violently to the left and into the grass. The nose wheel collapsed and the propeller struck the ground. The student was uninjured.
