Here's my little man on his first day of first grade. It wasn't easy to take him and leave him, but it was waaaaaayyyyyyy easier than K-5. He was so peppy and bubbly and could hardly keep from running to his classroom. I stayed and watched through the window for awhile along with another mom. The first thing his teacher had them do was to choose a book from the shelf and take it to their desk. He chose the same book he pointed out the other night and buried himself in it. His mouth was shut, he was sitting still. I pray this is still the case 45 minutes later as I type this post.
I really like his teacher so far. His K-5 teacher seemed not so friendly a lot of times, but this teacher seems so welcoming and sweet. I'm sure more will come later this afternoon.......
