First Day of School

Hard to believe, but it's that time of year.

My kiddos started school! Grace is going to the same place that I teach preschool at, Faith Baptist. In all the hoopla of me getting my classroom and students for the first day, I failed to get any pictures of her first day of preschool. I did get this...and promise to post more of her class and teacher this week. She loves it so far and has so much fun in Mrs. Stuffy's class!

Here is my boy on his first day of kindergarten. He couldn't wait for this day to arrive! The way it's done here is the kindergarten classes have a staggered start. Half of the class goes on Tuesday, the other half on Wednesday (the Tuesday group stays home) and the whole class goes together on Thursday. That way it's not too overwhelming for the kids (and teachers ;-) on the first day. His teacher's name is Mrs. Bryant. She seems very sweet. After a few people found out that that is his teacher, they could be happier. We have been told she is excellent with the kids and teaches them in a calm, loving environment. I am so thankful for that!
Had to get a picture with Gaga and Daddy Don before his big day.
Grace was set on wearing her backpack just like Jackson.
Can you tell he is excited?!


Mr. Independent
They all met in the cafeteria the first morning and walked together with the parents.

Sitting in his square ready for the day to begin.

Saying our goodbyes. I wasn't sad...just excited and nervous for his first day.
Gaga and Grace baked him a cake for his first day. It made it feel that more special to him. I asked him what he liked about his first day and he said, "playing on the playground." Then I asked him what he didn't like about the day and he said, "nothing!" I can pretty much say it was a success. He can't wait to go to school. I only hope that he is always this excited about going!
