Here it is! The first day of another school year! Hannah is joining the ranks of the second grade and Claire is (FINALLY) at the same school and in Kindergarten.
Summer seemed to go very quickly, but there at the end I think we were all ready for a little more routine and a little less bickering ;-)
Hannah spent the summer reading, swimming, and losing teeth! She was really excited about school after she met her new teacher last week. She loves school and is always an eager student, so we are really looking forward to this year!
Claire spent the summer swimming, coloring, and bugging her sister ;-). Once she realized how soon school would be starting (after Back to School night last week) she asked everyday how many days were left and when she could get her outfit ready! Claire was very quiet in preschool, so I am curious how she will do making all sorts of new friends in Kindergarten.
We have a tradition of walking to school on the first day, and I have a personal tradition of tearing up about the time we get to the crosswalk... my babies are just so BIG already!! Luckily,I pulled it together bout the time we reached the classes.
Claire's sweet friend Julia is in the same class... they stuck together today.
And then after the first day with her teacher, and sucking on a jolly rancher she earned for following directions :-)
Claire's assesment of the day: We spent a lot of time on the carpet, sang two songs, and the playground really isn't too fun. I ate all my fishie crackers, there was plenty of time, and I got to color with colored pencils! I will go back tomorrow.
Hannah's assesment of the day: My teacher is nice. We have to do a daily journal, like last year. We didn't really learn anything today, but we will do math facts tomorrow. I got to use my highlighter to do a word search, can I have a different colored highlighter for tomorrow? Bre and I have a meeting spot for recess, but I did play with a few kids in my class.
Looking forward to another crazy school year!
