Last night we went to the open house for John David's school. We thought his teacher was the same 1st grade teacher from last year, but we found out when we walked in that she had retired. The new teacher is very nice and John David likes her alot so far. She is much older than his K-5 teacher so she's more of a grandma type.
We took all his supplies to the classroom and he got to put his pencil box and notebooks in the basket under his desk. He is so VERY excited about his desk! It's on the back row and close to some of his old friends. There is a large book holder near the door and he has already chosen the long chapter book that he wants to read. I was proud when he pointed it out (very closely to his teacher) and read the title out loud with ease. He really is a good reader.
Julia was so sad to realize that she didn't get to stay in his classroom. She wants to go to school soooo badly! I've been giving her little "tests" as I've been reviewing things with John David. She really loves to learn and I know she'll do great in school when the time comes. We're looking for a Mother's Day Out program for her this year. She's ecstatic.
I'm sure we'll have lots to post about school after the first day tomorrow......
