We had an awesome first day of school! (As awesome as it can be when I'm losing my big kids) Everyone woke up very early! They all got ready in their crisp, new clothes, brushed teeth, happy faces :) all on their own! We had yummy pancakes for breakfast. We kind of lost track of time towards the end of the morning, so we rushed a little to get to the school, but we were on time!
Charity is in 6th grade this year. She has Mrs. Johnson. Se seems pretty excited to be one of the oldest in the school. She looked so cool and confident walking to her door.
Kelly is in 5th grade. She has two teachers, Mrs. Masterson in the mornings, and Mr. Paver in the afternoons. She too is very excited and seems to really love her class.
Bradley is in 3rd grade this year. He has Ms. Wood. He doesn't love his teacher. In fact, he didn't really like her for the first week. We will have to see how the second week goes. She might grow on him... I don't know. Lots of grumpiness and yelling I guess. Not his favorite. HOpefully he has a good year.
Luke is a 2nd grader! He has Mrs. Featherstone. The teacher that Charity had last year! Kinda crazy. But he seems to really like his class and teacher. He's had a lot of fun so far.
And on Thursday, Noah experienced his first day of Kindergarten!! WAHOO!!! He is in Mrs. Piper's afternoon class. We are so excited for him and I think he couldn't be any more excited himself. It was killing him to wait til Thursday. And then even worse to have to wait until the afternoon! That was a tough one. Hopefully he'll get the hang of it. He had all good things to say about it! He loved "recess and coloring" :). I'm happy that he was comfortable there, and felt like a cool big kid. We have LOVED riding bikes with him to school though! And I think he's enjoyed riding home with his big brothers and sisters. Fun stuff.
I do have to say it was adorable watching Erika with her big brother at Kindergarten orientation. She was so proud of him and followed him around when she could and stood back and admired when she couldn't. She was the one to tell everyone else about his day and how it went at school. She was pretty into all of it! I loved watching her marvel in his new thing. She and I and Jack will have so much fun this year! Lots to do and experience. I hope she enjoys being "the big girl" for both years :).
We went to our first Back to School night at our new school and were surprised at how they did things, but we got to know the kids' teachers a little bit, and I did appreciate that. It's interesting to start over and get to know a new schoool, but I think we'll all survive and might even enjoy it :)
Looks like we have a lot of fun ahead of us with new traditions and celebrations here at Columbia Elementary!!
pictures to come of course!
