First Day of School

They arrived this morning with new backpacks and sharp crayons.  They were so happy to see friends and delighted to finally be in first grade.  We welcomed six new children to our class this year and it is always so exciting to make new friends.  We were blessed with gorgeous weather for our first day of first grade.  Outdoor recess gave the little ones a chance to play and chat with each other.  They are excited for their first night of homework.  Will that last?  I am looking forward to see their smiling faces tomorrow.

Waiting for the First Day of School...

This afternoon the room is so still and quiet.  In just a few hours this room will be filled with laughter and giggles.  New friendships will begin, the pencil points will all be sharp and the crayons will be new.  The room is ready except for the important little ones who will fill these seats in the morning.  There are lessons to be learned and books to be read and a teacher who can hardly wait until tomorrow to see you.  Get a good nights rest and we will begin our year together in the morning.
