Today was Julia's first day of 4th grade and also marks the first time she's ever been at her school without Devin! Devin started 6th grade (which is junior high here) so he's at his own school now. Two kids, two schools what seems like 8 schedules. Can't wait to get into a pattern! The side view is to show how big his backpack is with all his stuff in it!!
I "forced" them both to take pictures again (of course!). Neil took Devin to school and off he went, happy and excited with a little bit of nerves just to make it fun. Julia stood for her pictures then asked, "You're NOT walking me to school right?" Apparently I have overstayed my welcome on the walk to school. So, off she went, just a little grumpy that I had even suggested SUCH A THING!! The second side view is to show off her new headband!
Devin's biggest complaint about his day was trying to get his locker open. He finally did it, but was one of the last ones to get it open. He made some new friends and started to get familiar with his schedule. He felt like he knew a lot of people already (from Cub Scouts) so felt good about that.
I asked him to sum up his day in a single word..."Awesome!!" So, it sounds like junior high is off to a good start.
Julia has the same teacher that Devin had for 4th grade, Mrs. K. She's a fabulous lady and we're all thrilled to have her again. She has some real nice kids in her class and I think she's going to have a great year. Her biggest complaint was how HOT it was in her classroom (it was 95 today, and she's on the top floor of a school without AC). But, it will get cool before we know it, so problem solved! I asked her for the same one word description and got the same word, "Awesome?" but said with more of a questioning inflection than an exclamation.
One day down, 179 to go...
