Kendall was all nerves when she woke up this morning! Which we expected since she was moving to a new school. She doesn't like change much and gets anxious with the unknown. She got a little more excited as she put on her 'first day of school' outfit. Which she looked so darn cute in!
On the way to school she asked about a million questions (which is so like Kendall) and I tried to answer them the best I could to ease her mind! When we got to Central, she held my hand so tight the whole way up to her classroom. It kinda felt like I was taking her to Kindergarten all over again! Once she saw a few classmates she knew and talked to Mrs. Linsmeyer she eased up and I knew she was going to have a fabulous day.
Boy, was I right! When I picked her up at the end of the day, she couldn't stop talking about how much she is going to like her new school. She thinks fourth grade is going to be more fun than second or third grade! I see great things for her in the next two years!
I can't believe she is in fourth grade! She really is maturing into such a kind, beautiful young girl! We couldn't be more proud of her!
Max was so ready to go back to school! This boy needs some structure back into his daily life! We had a great summer but it was time... Max wasn't nervous at all! He woke up ready to go to school and see all his buddies. He lucked out this year because his teacher, Mrs. Condra, looped with him to first grade from Kindergarten. And he loves Mrs. Condra!!!
He was really cute this morning when he was getting ready! His hair had to be just right and his shoes just right, etc. He may turn out to be a little high maintenance after all, oh no!
Once we got to Pelican he sat right down in his new desk (very exciting since last year they had tables) and gave me a high five. First grade boys DON'T give their mom's hugs in public! At pickup he was all smiles and told me about this fun counting game they played with real pennies (he is gonna take after his Dad in the math department) and the fact that they get a science book this year!
My baby is a first grader! We look forward to seeing him blossom more socially this year, he already has come such a long way and we are proud of him for that! We also can't wait to see him get more involved in reading and math. Not only did my kids start a new year of school today, but so did I! Back to Nicolet for another semester of general eds (yuck) but at least I'm getting somewhere! Today was Algebra (double yuck) and tomorrow is Art Appreciation (more my style)!
Here's to another school year! Hopefully their won't be too much homework!
