First Days of School

Well, I can surely feel that we are back into the school year and staying busy. Of course when you think things are going just perfect, the door swings the other way. Bo's new job turned out not to be what we were told, so he is waiting to hear from another local company and hopefully we will have good news soon. The house situation is still great and we have settled more into the new house and loving it more and more. I have had a great start to the year. I have already planned an author visit, farmer and reptile guy to come to our school. Book Fairs are planned, new materials are ordered and fire safety week is ready to roll. I have enjoyed my extra time for this planning and I will start having classes on the 17th.

Emma's first day of school was September 5th. She was pumped to go and HAD to wear her Mary Poppins dress - obviously. This year she is a green frog! She is not with all of the kids from last year because some are going three days and some are going four, but the classes do merge for an hour each day so she is still around some of her buddies from last year. The first day of school she came home with papers that said they read The Kissing Hand and a Franklin book. She got a stamp for good behavior and a certificate saying she had a great first day of school.

Hannah started the next day. She HAD to wear her lamby dress! She is in the brown bear class that Emma was in last year so we are very comfortable with her teacher and class. I am very curious to see how Hannah handles preschool. She sort of think she owns the place since she was so involved last year and it is her Sunday School class - and then you add in her personality! Oh my goodness - good luck Ms. Piper! Hannah had to get pictures together for her homework and take them to school for her All About Me wall. I know she will have a great year!
