First day of 1st and 3rd grades

Well, here we are.  After a LONG summer of fun in the sun, memories, and new adventures…school has begun.  This year was a little tougher as it was all new for everyone.  New district, new school, new staff, new classes, and new students.  Even new bus riders this afternoon!  So many changes in one day.  Caelin was a little scared as she walked in her new classroom.  She clung tightly to my arm, but was still brave through the tears and walked in.  She found a chair at a table with 3 other girls and after a little coaching started to work.  Cade appeared to do well and walked right in to class as a 3rd grader.  He was bold and confident.  I love that he was able to smile and proceed with reading the board for directions.  I think I might have been more nervous for them all day.  I could NOT wait to see them get off the bus this afternoon and hug them!  They reported that they both had good days, but missed their old friends and teachers.  We assured them that this year would allow them to meet even more friends and new memories.  Praying that this year allows them to make friends and learn how to step out of their comfort zones when needed. 

Caelin’s 1st grade teacher: Miss Jessica Kirk 

Cade’s 3rd grade teacher: Mrs. Moline, Mrs. Hennick, Mrs. Wilt
