It’s the first day of school! Laura is in third grade and John is in first grade. Both kids are pretty excited to go back and John is happy that he will be one of the “big kids” in his unit. Before we left the house, I took the obligatory “first day” pictures. John did not want to smile at first, but the threat of tickling got a smile out of him pretty quickly.
On the other hand, Laura loves to pose for me…
Like all the other first days of school, we took the kids to school. We got there just in time to take a few pictures in front of the school before the rain started.
Both kids had a good first day of school. Laura was chosen to be a Lunch Buddy for the Unit A kids. That means that she got to help them go through the line on the first day to teach them how the lunch process works. Then, she found out that she was also selected to be a Bus Buddy. It will be her responsibility to help the Unit A kids get on the proper bus in the afternoons. She declared her first day “Great!” John was a bit more subdued about his first day, but he did say that recess was great and that he got to sit with Wil, Ethan, and Forrest all day. Not a bad start to the school year!
