Today was the 1st day of school for Philip & Ashlyn. Philip started 4th grade. Philip was "pretty nervous" last night & this morning. Once he sat down in the cafeteria with his friends, he was fine. His day was a 10! Ashlyn started Kindergarten. She was really excited last night & then a little excited & nervous this morning. Ashlyn was a little teary before, during & after drop-off at the classroom. Nothing major--no tears rolling down her cheeks or anything. That might have happened after I left because she missed me (those were her words!). Ashlyn was super excited to see me at pick-up. She said her day was an 11 (10 is supposed to be the best, so she really enjoyed kindergarten--thank goodness).
The kids thoughts on their day-
Philip
Getting to meet my new teachers. Meeting new friends & seeing my old friends. Mr Biard is going to be really hard at Math. Mrs Williams is going to be hard in reading, writing & occasionally social studies. (I guess we are only occasionally doing social studies???!!!)
Ashlyn
Good! Can't wait for tomorrow. Don't want to school to end! I met 10 friends today (she could only remember 2 of their names!). Best part was EVERYTHING! The 1st day was about being nice & responsible. No picking up or throwing rocks. No walking up the slides. I hope I have a great day tomorrow. Woo-hoo!
Thanks for everyone's prayers. We really appreciate it!
