1st Grade! WOW. Not sure how this happened so fast.
What a difference a year makes! I can say, none of us were
ready for school to start this year. The summer just flew by and we had so much
fun. We spent as much time at the beach
as we could – and had a wonderful vacation to Colorado. It was hard to imagine that 9 weeks went by
so fast. We’re back to the grind. Booo!
You guys were not at all excited to start school until last
night. The night before school, you got really excited. Last week, we went to school to “meet &
greet and see your seat”. This seemed to get you a little bit more excited
since you got to see all of your old friends walking the halls. Although a short visit, you learned who your
teachers would be, dropped off your school supplies at your desks and saw your
classrooms. You were so happy there and
it warmed my heart to know that you felt safe there and less anxiety than I
would have guessed.
Cole, you really wanted Ms. Belote – and as luck would have
it, you got her. You have been talking about her all summer; and looking at her
in the yearbook. When I asked why you wanted her so much, you replied “Mommy,
she LOOKS nice!”. The emphasis was on
the “looks” not the nice. You also said
she gives out candy. Well, when we met her, you were right. She does LOOK nice.
She’s a very pretty lady and seems super sweet. You’ll be happy with her, I
know it. When we met her, you were acting very silly and talking incessantly. You
could not have been happier. So much so, that it didn’t even matter what
friends, if any, were also in your class.
I’m happy if you are.
JD, you will have Mrs. Hughes. You were pretty open to getting any of the
teachers. You were more concerned with who was in your class than who your
teacher was. You have some of your best pals in your class this year – which is
fun for you. Liam and Kyla are in your class.
Hopefully this will not be a problem down the line.
We laid out your clothes last night so we were ready for
this morning. You both woke up happy and ready to go. Our morning routine has
never been so easy. You did your chores,
got dressed and came down for breakfast. You were running out the front door to
the bus stop about 10 minutes early. It was hard to hold you back. Last year, I was dragging you out the door
and this year I could barely keep up. When the bus came, you ran toward it, and
loved seeing that Mr. Lionel is back as your bus driver. Cole, you even jumped
up and cheered when you saw him.
I think it’s going to be a good year!
